Thermo-mechanical fractional injury was found comparable to nonablative fractional 1,565 nm laser in the treatment of periorbital wrinkling.

Fractional radiofrequency significantly improves facial rhytids.

Fractional Radiofrequency Significantly Reduces Rhytids

Fractional radrofrequency significantly reduced rhytids in the upper lip and perioral areas with a high subject satisfaction rate.

Treatment with a 755 nm picosecond alexandrite laser reduced pore size at all time points up to four week follow-up.

Pore Size Reduced with Picosecond 755-nm Alex Laser Treatment

Patients who underwent at least two 755 nm picosecond alexandrite laser treatments for photorejuvenation were evaluated for changes in pore size.

$The split-face study compared deep, mid and fusion mode fractional CO2 laser treatments.$

Comparing Different Therapeutic Modes of CO2 Fractional Laser

The sides treated with the fusion mode resulted in significantly progressive improvement of periocular wrinkles at three-month follow-up as compared with one-month follow-up.

$The addition of low power fractional CO2 did reduce rates of postprocedure punctate leukoderma.$

[Melasma] Reducing Rates of QS-Nd:YAG-induced Punctate Leukoderma

The investigators hypothesized that combining low power fractional CO2 laser with QS-Nd:YAG—both of which have been used successfully for the treatment of melasma—may help to reduce the risk of punctate leukoderma.

Four-to-six cycles of cryolipolysis administered in a single session reduced abdominal fat layer thickness by 46%.

[Cryolipolysis] Single Session, Multi-cycle Treatment Safe and Effective

In addition to the reduction in fat thickness and contour, qualitative analysis of the ultrasound images suggested the appearance of numerous bands of ordered and structured collagen fibers.

The patch blocked 97% of particles in alexandrite laser-induced plume.

Researchers Developing Patch to Protect Against Laser Plume

A team of investigators has been at work developing a patch that can be applied to skin during laser procedures to cool skin, track pulses and protect against laser plumes.

$Nonablative fractional erbium laser and RF microneedling both offered significant improvement in neck lines, wrinkles and skin elasticity.$

RF Microneedling vs. Fractional Erbium for Neck Rejuvenation

Both devices provided significant improvement in the neck. But there were statistically significant differences in vertical neck lines, downtime and adverse events.

Red light therapy and infrared therapy have different mechanisms of action, with red light offering a more durable response.

Photobiomodulation Response From 660 nm is More Durable Than 980 nm

Researchers at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine found that the keratinocytes and fibroblasts responded differently to exposures at 660 nm and 980 nm.
