레이저 박피술 Laser Resurfacing

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] Ablative fractional lasers are widely used for skin renewal and rejuvenation. The typical diameter of beam incident on skin is in the range 100-500 μm, which has been shown to be safe and effective for skin treat…

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] To determine whether the size of the surgical pial-ependymal surface entry, relative to lesion size, predicts long-term functional outcome in the microsurgical treatment of cavernous malformations in brain region…

[OBJECTIVE] This study compared the efficacy and safety of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection and CO ablative fractional laser combined with intense pulsed light (COAFL-IPL) therapy in preventing hypertrophic scarring after thyroidect…

Simultaneous rhytidectomy and laser resurfacing has become a common single-stage facial rejuvenation technique. However, concerns remain, particularly with photothermal injury to undermined tissue. This is the first methodologically robust …

[BACKGROUND]  Surgery is the only salvage treatment for radiotherapy (RT) failures in glottic carcinoma management, and total laryngectomy is performed in the majority of cases, resulting in a substantial decline in the quality of life for …

Acne vulgaris is a highly prevalent chronic inflammatory disorder that frequently results in permanent scarring, with atrophic scars representing the predominant type. The management of atrophic acne scarring is challenging due to variabili…

[PURPOSE] Corticosteroid use is commonly associated with an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP). Our retrospective study aims to evaluate the effect of short-term periocular topical triamcinolone acetonide (TA) use on IOP. [METHODS] A r…

Lichen simplex chronicus (LSC), also known as neurodermatitis, is a common chronic pruritic dermatosis defined by lichenified plaques resulting from persistent scratching. Though often secondary to underlying dermatologic, systemic, or psyc…

[BACKGROUND] Fractional Photothermolysis (FP) relies on precise laser focus to create microscopic treatment zones (MTZs). Focal plane deviations, caused by handpiece pressure and movement, shift the treated tissue out of focus, increasing s…

Malar bags are a common aesthetic concern characterized by swelling and puffiness in the prezygomatic space and cheek area. Various medical and surgical techniques have been developed to address this condition and restore a more youthful an…

Exosomes have emerged as a promising therapeutic frontier in facial plastic surgery. Preclinical studies have demonstrated their ability to modulate wound healing, skin rejuvenation, hair growth, and nerve regeneration. Early clinical evide…

[BACKGROUND] Consumers are searching for a solution to rejuvenate the eye area. Surgical blepharoplasties are a common solution, but they lack improvement in skin quality. [AIMS] To present a novel procedure of a laser upper blepharoplasty…

Palmar hyperhidrosis is common condition that is challenging to treat. Nonsurgical treatments include topical antiperspirants, iontophoresis, anticholinergic drugs and botulinum toxin injections. To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ablat…

[IMPORTANCE] Adult laryngeal hemangiomas are rare and may cause symptoms such as dysphonia, dysphagia, and dyspnea. Carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers offer an alternative approach to managing this rare condition. [OBJECTIVE] The objective of thi…

[OBJECTIVES] The absorption of biostimulatory particulate matter following its application to fractional skin defects remains poorly understood, and even less is known about its in vivo impact in terms of tissue integration. The objectives …

This report describes a case of severe inducible laryngeal obstruction (ILO) in an emergency department nurse. Onset of the condition occurred after an episode of exposure to a disinfectant product containing hydrogen peroxide, peracetic ac…

[BACKGROUND] Hybrid fractional lasers (HFLs) have revolutionized facial laser resurfacing treatments with their dual ablative and non-ablative wavelength technology. Although HFL therapy shows promising results, safety at skin depths beyond…

Hypertrophic scars arise from aberrant wound healing and can lead to functional and aesthetic impairments. One of the common interventions for treating hypertrophic scars is fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, which employs narrow laser …

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is medical condition strictly connected with HPV infection of the epithelium of the upper respiratory track. The main treatment of lesions located in larynx or lower pharynx includes microsurgical excisi…

[BACKGROUND] Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a prevalent form of hair loss that affects both men and women, severely impacting patients' quality of life. Traditional treatments include oral medications, topical medications, and hair transpla…
