Abstract:
Background: Facial telangiectasias is a prevalent cosmetic disorder that can be associated with several conditions such as rosacea. IPL (intensity pulsed light) therapy is commonly used for the treatment of vascular lesions. This study tested the efficacy of an IPL system emitting selected vascular chromophore-specific wavelengths in the range of 500-1200 nm for the treatment of vascular lesions. Materials and Methods: A total of 39 patients affected by different vascular lesions on their face were enrolled. The procedure consisted of three treatment sessions, spaced 1 month apart, using the IPL system with a 500-677 and 854-1200 nm filter. Follow-up was performed at 21-90 days (3 weeks-3 months) after the last IPL session. Three-dimensional and dermoscopic clinical photographs were captured and evaluated using a five-point scale. Adverse events were checked. Results: In total, 21 patients achieved excellent improvement, 13 patients achieved good improvement, 3 patients achieved moderate improvement, 2 patients achieved mild improvement, and 0 patients achieved no improvement, with an overall good response to treatment. The photographic evaluation showed good results as soon as 3 days after the last IPL session. Relevant side effects were absent. Conclusions: The study device may represent a successful treatment to improve vascular lesions that are resistant to laser therapy.
摘要:
背景:面部毛细血管扩张是一种常见的美容疾病,可能与酒渣鼻等多种疾病有关。IPL(强度脉冲光)疗法通常用于治疗血管病变。该研究测试了发射500-1200nm范围内的选定血管发色团特异性波长的IPL系统用于治疗血管病变的功效。材料与方法:共纳入39例面部不同血管病变患者。该程序包括三个疗程,间隔1个月,使用具有500-677和854-1200nm滤光片的IPL系统。在最后一次IPL疗程后21-90天(3周-3个月)进行随访。捕获三维和皮肤镜临床照片,并使用五点量表进行评估。检查不良事件。结果:总的来说,21例患者获得了极好的改善,13例患者取得了良好的改善,3名患者获得中度改善,2名患者获得轻度改善,0名患者没有改善,对治疗的总体反应良好。摄影评价在最后一次IPL会议后3天显示出良好的结果。没有相关副作用。结论:该研究设备可能代表了一种成功的治疗方法,可以改善对激光治疗有抵抗力的血管病变。
