IPL bbl photorejuvenation evidence for Facial telangiectasia

Abstract summary (English) OBJECTIVES: To determine the effects of intense pulsed light (IPL) combined with meibomian gland expression (MGX) and topical medication on ocular rosacea and assess glutathione peroxidases (GPxs) change in the meibum after IPL treatments. METHODS: Ninety-six eyes of 48 participants with ocular rosacea were randomly assigned to either MGX with erythromycin eye ointment alone (control group) or the combination with...

Abstract summary (English) PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy on signs and symptoms of Contact Lens Discomfort (CLD) in symptomatic contact lens (CL) wearers. METHODS: A prospective, randomised, double masked study was conducted on 36 eyes of 18 CL wearers (IPL: n = 20; sham: n = 16) with a Contact Lens Dry Eye Questionnaire (CLDEQ-8) score ≥ 12. Participants received two IPL/sham treatments at three weeks...

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the central face. While laser and energy-based devices (EBDs) are commonly used for managing vascular symptoms, comprehensive comparisons between systems are limited. This study aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of lasers and EBDs for rosacea through a systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA).

Abstract summary (English) OBJECTIVE: Long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser can damage vessels with higher diameters and penetrate to a deeper level than other laser therapies. We aim to analyze outcomes of the treatment of leg veins with long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser regarding intervention protocol, technical success, clinical success, and side effects. METHODS: A research of the published literature was conducted, using PubMed and Embase...

Abstract summary (English) Background Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin characterised by facial erythema, oedema, telangiectasias, papules, pustules and nodules. There is a paucity of effective therapeutic modalities for the management of rosacea. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), a modality in which flash lamps installed in an optical treatment device (head or tip) with mirrors to reflect light, has in recent times gained...

Journal Article, Systematic Review

Abstract summary (English) INTRODUCTION: Facial erythema can be seen in many patients. Despite various clinical trials exploring the effect of intense pulsed light (IPL) in treating facial erythema, comprehensive evidence about the specific outcomes remains lacking. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: We searched published studies in the Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases based on established inclusion criteria.

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: The aging process involves laxity, hyperpigmentation, and telangiectasias. It is important to target those elements of aging to be successful at achieving rejuvenation. OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy, safety, and patient satisfaction of a combination intense pulsed light (IPL) and 1440-nm diode laser versus either treatment alone.

Randomized Controlled Trial, Journal Article

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: This study was performed to investigate the association between symptoms and signs in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). METHODS: Data were obtained from 122 MGD patients who were recruited for intense pulsed light therapy from November 2017 to April 2018 and the severity of their symptoms and signs at baseline were observed and recorded. Spearman correlation analyses were performed to...

Abstract summary (English) Aged skin is characterized by appearance of wrinkles, vascular lesions, hyperpigmentation, lentignes, texture, rhytides, and pores. These changes occur under the influence of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, as hormone alterations and exposure to ultraviolet light (UV) irradiation, respectively. Skin changes associated with aging have been assuming an important role in nowadays and bring to affect the quality of...

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: The current scenario and position of laser and light-based therapies (LLBT) in the therapeutic rosacea scheme are lacking evidence-based recommendations and comparisons on efficacy and tolerability among different devices. This article aimed to systematically compare the efficacy, acceptability, and tolerability of the pulsed dye laser (PDL) versus other devices. METHOD: A literature search was conducted...
