We compared a cw carbon dioxide flash-scanning laser system to an Er:YAG laser in laser skin resurfacing of facial rhytides. In all patients, CO2 laser treatment showed a better cosmetic result whereas erythema and postinflammatory hyperpig…

The new pulsed CO2 lasers are an exciting modality. They have the ability to do what no other procedure can do with the same safety profile. The drawbacks of cost, pain and prolonged healing, however, serve to limit the lasers use to a nich…

The Q-switched ruby laser at 694 nm, a wavelength well absorbed by melanin relative to other optically absorbing structures in skin, causes highly selective destruction of pigment-laden cells. In addition, the 20- to 40-ns pulse duration pr…

[UNLABELLED] BACKGROUND OF OBJECTIVE: Treatment of xanthelasma palpebrarum may prove difficult due to its delicate location at the periorbita and its sometimes extensive dimension. During recent years, carbon dioxide and argon lasers have b…

The paper deals with feasibility studies conducted to choose a laser for the treatment of vascular diseases causing skin hyperpigmentation. It describes a laser unit selectively acting on diseased vessels, which operates at a wavelength of …

[BACKGROUND] Local anesthetic infiltration before lid surgery causes pain of varying degrees. To reduce the patient discomfort we have tested the effect of an initial injection of deluted anesthetic prior to the infiltration anesthesia. [P…

Removal of periocular wrinkles is a common yet difficult problem. There are many techniques currently available, all of which have some drawbacks. With the advent of new generation ultrapulse carbon dioxide lasers, skin can now be resurface…

[OBJECTIVE] To study patients with side effects secondary to the injection of modelants. [METHODS] We studied their clinical, serological, histopathological, radiographic, immunoregulatory and fibroblast culture features by standard method…

Syringomas are benign tumors of eccrine origin that occur primarily in the lower eyelid region of females. Since they do not involute and are typically refractory to conventional forms of therapy, they may grow to become considerable, chron…

Alterations in pigmentation of the skin are commonly encountered as a patient's primary reason for seeking medical care. They may be discovered as incidental findings on examination of the skin. The physician should be able to recognize and…

420 cases of chromatic skin corrections for medical or aesthetic reasons have been documented over the last 1-5 years. The author analyses cases based on local anatomy classification, so that good and poor results of the technique are clear…

Appropriate follow-up care, including early postoperative serial mammography, is essential for women receiving cosmetic breast surgery. Common procedures include augmentation or reduction mammoplasty and breast reconstruction following mast…

We present the results of a pilot study of the use of Nd:Yag laser in the removal of permanent eyeliner tattoos. Fourteen eyelids were treated, and in all cases a reduction in pigmentation was achieved although responses were variable. The …

124 patients with keloids were treated with surgical excision followed by postoperative X-ray radiation, begun within 24 hours after surgery. Only patients with a two-year keloid history were included in this study. The treatment results we…

The ablepharon macrostomia syndrome is an extremely rare congenital anomaly. It is characterised by bilateral absence or hypoplasia of lower eyelids, macrostomia and multiple other congenital anomalies. Three cases have been reported (McCar…

Various involutional eyelid changes, such as fine rhytids, dynamic laugh lines in the lateral canthal area, secondary malar bags, and dermal pigmentation are not effectively treated by a blepharoplasty. Preoperative discussions are importan…

The results of intradermal pigmentation to obtain improved coloring in reconstructed nipples is presented. The technique obviates the need for pigmented skin, thus enabling the surgeon to obtain skin grafts for nipple-areola reconstruction …

In October of 1983, we sent a questionnaire on suction lipectomy to 2524 U.S. and Canadian members of the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons. Six-hundred and twelve plastic surgeons returned questionnaires (24.2 percent…

It is extremely important that a donor graft site be selected with attention to the type of graft needed as well as the specific patient's needs and lifestyle. While it is inevitable that any donor site heals with altered pigmentation and t…

In a large series of lipolysis procedures, followed for 2 years, there have been no serious major and few minor complications. Selection of patients is important and for the best results patients should be under 30 years of age. Many areas …
