tier1 Comparative Study of a 1064 nm Fractional Picosecond Laser Versus Intense Pulsed Light in Facial Rejuvenation: A Prospective Randomized Trial.
Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Skin aging, characterized by wrinkles, pigment disorders, and enlarged pores, is driven primarily by photoaging. While a 1064 nm fractional picosecond laser shows efficacy in skin rejuvenation, comparative studies with intense pulsed light (IPL) remain limited. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of the 1064 nm fractional picosecond laser with...

View on PubMedtier1 Comprehensive Evaluation of a Cream With Advanced Soothing Complex for Skin Recovery Following Intense Pulsed Light Therapy.
Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy is widely used for skin rejuvenation but frequently induces transient skin barrier impairment, erythema, and discomfort. Post-procedure skincare targeting barrier repair and symptom relief remains a clinical priority. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and satisfaction of a cream containing 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol, Tephrosia purpurea seed extract, and...
