Periorbital skin tightening with a broadband infrared device: preliminary study results.
نویسنده
چکیده
Periorbital rhytids are often the first signs of aging skin for which young patients seek a non-invasive, no downtime treatment. Recently, several skin-tightening modalities based on deep dermal heating with various energy sources, such as monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency, as well as laser and broadband infrared light sources, have been introduced to treat mild wrinkles and skin laxity. This report presents preliminary study results using a new infrared device for the treatment of periorbital rhytids on 11 volunteer patients.

Objective assessment of skin tightening in Asians using a water-filtered near-infrared (1,000–1,800 nm) device with contact-cooling and freezer-stored gel
BACKGROUND Near-infrared has been shown to penetrate deeper than optical light sources independent of skin color, allowing safer treatment for the Asian skin type. Many studies have indicated the efficacy of various types of devices, but have not included a sufficiently objective evaluation. In this study, we used three-dimensional imaging for objective evaluation of facial skin tightening usin...

BACKGROUND While skin resurfacing using pulsed carbon dioxide lasers appears to have a skin-tightening effect clinically, the debate continues over its actual effects on dermal collagen. OBJECTIVES To provide quantitative measures of skin elasticity changes associated with pulsed carbon dioxide laser skin resurfacing and to introduce to the facial plastic surgery community the Cutometer SEM 5...
متن کاملPeriorbital Rejuvenation with the Contour TRL and ProFractional-XC Laser Devices
Laxity and wrinkles of the lower eyelid skin are common manifestations of photoaging. They often appear earlier on the eyelids than on adjacent facial skin. The pulsed CO2 laser has been shown to tighten loose skin and reduce wrinkles in the periorbital region (Fitzpatrick 1996). The authors of this study suggested that the improvements were due to tissue-heating effects that vaporized intracel...
متن کاملImprovement of dermatochalasis and periorbital rhytides with a high-energy pulsed CO2 laser: a retrospective study.
BACKGROUND Upper eyelid dermatochalasis is typically treated with excisional blepharoplasty. The role of the CO2 laser previously had been confined to that of a vaporizing, incisional, or hemostatic tool. Over the past several years, however, ablative CO2 laser skin resurfacing has been popularized as an adjunctive treatment to blepharoplasty to minimize periorbital rhytides through its vaporiz...
متن کاملA study to determine the efficacy of combination LED light therapy (633 nm and 830 nm) in facial skin rejuvenation.
BACKGROUND The use of visible or near infrared spectral light alone for the purpose of skin rejuvenation has been previously reported. A method of light emitting diode (LED) photo rejuvenation incorporating a combination of these wavelengths and thus compounding their distinct stimulation of cellular components is proposed.Objective. To assess the efficacy and local tolerability of combination ...
