Nonablative fractional resurfacing evidence for Enlarged pores

Abstract summary (English) Perioral aging manifests as fine lines, wrinkles, and structural changes, often requiring specialized treatment. Although laser systems are widely used in facial rejuvenation, few studies directly compare their efficacy in perioral rejuvenation. This study evaluates and compares the efficacy and safety of two laser systems-Erbium: glass laser and Nd: YAG combined with Er: YAG laser-for perioral rejuvenation.

Journal Article, Comparative Study, Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Both nonablative fractional (NAFL) laser combined with intense pulsed light (IPL) and picosecond alexandrite laser (PSAL) with diffractive lens array (DLA) have been documented for their efficacy in facial rejuvenation. OBJECTIVE: To observe the safety and efficacy of PSAL-DLA and IPL-NAFL in the rejuvenation of Chinese individuals. METHODS: Each subject (n = 18) received three treatments on half of...

Journal Article, Comparative Study, Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract summary (English) PURPOSE: This split-face randomized study compared the efficacy and safety between 1064-nm picosecond laser with fractionated microlens array (MLA) and 1565-nm nonablative fractional laser to treat enlarged pores. METHODS: Participants with enlarged facial pores were enrolled and underwent three consecutive sessions at 2-week intervals with either a 1064-nm picosecond laser with MLA or a 1565-nm nonablative...

Randomized Controlled Trial, Journal Article

Abstract summary (English) Facial pores are visible openings of pilosebaceous follicles, and they are one of the major factors influencing facial skin appearance. This article aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of 1565-nm non-ablative fractional laser (NAFL) and long-pulsed 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser (LPNY) in treating enlarged facial pores. All subjects were treated with NAFL on their left faces and LPNY on their right.

Clinical Trial, Journal Article

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: As the demand for diminished procedure-associated downtime continues to increase, nonablative fractional laser resurfacing is becoming a more popular intervention in the progression of photoaging. Patients with pigmented skin and a mild degree of photodamage may be particularly suited for a less intensive laser treatment. In this study, we have evaluated the safety and efficacy of a low...

Clinical Trial, Journal Article

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: The fractionated nonablative 1440-nm laser creates microscopic thermal wounds within the epidermis and the dermis and is used clinically to improve tone, texture, and color of skin. OBJECTIVE: We sought to investigate the use of this device to treat facial pores and to improve skin texture. METHODS: Twenty patients received 6 treatments at the highest tolerable energy level performed 2 weeks apart.

Abstract summary (English) The use of energy-based devices in cosmetic treatments for patients with higher Fitzpatrick skin types is a topic of concern due to the increased risk of complications such as hyperpigmentation and scarring. Advancements in technology have enabled the development of safe and effective energy-based modalities for improving skin tone, texture, and signs of aging in patients with higher Fitzpatrick skin types. This...

Review, Journal Article

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To compare the efficacy and safety of fractional 1064 nm Nd:YAG picosecond laser and nonablative fractional 1565 nm laser in the treatment of enlarged pores. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty patients received five monthly treatments at months 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 and were followed up at months 5, 6, and 7. All patients were treated by fractional 1064 nm Nd:YAG picosecond laser...

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Nonablative lasers treat photoaged skin and stimulate new collagen formation while sparing epidermal damage. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of nonablative fractional diode combination laser skin resurfacing treatment (1440 and 1927 nm) in mild-to-moderate photoaged skin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The entire face was treated with both 1440-nm and 1927-nm wavelengths per treatment, with a...

Abstract summary (English) The treatment of acne vulgaris and enlarged pore remains challenging. The 30% supramolecular salicylic acid (SSA) is a newly developed form of SA which affects pathogenic factors of acne. Non-ablative fractional laser (NAFL) promotes remodeling and decreases sebum excretion with minimal side effect.
