The use of lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) technology has become an established practice in dermatology and aesthetic medicine. The use of laser therapy and IPL in the treatment of pigmented melanocytic lesions is a controversial issue. We report clinical, dermoscopic and histological changes of a completely regressed pigmented melanocytic nevus after hair removal treatment with the Light...

In this contribution we discuss the sintering of an inkjet-printed copper nanoparticle ink based on electrical performance and microstructure analysis. Laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) sintering are employed in order to compare the different techniques and their feasibility for electronics manufacturing. A conductivity of more than 20% of that of bulk copper material has been obtained with ...

BACKGROUND So far, pulsed dye lasers have been regarded as the gold standard in the treatment of port-wine stains (PWS). Recently, intense pulsed light (IPL) has been reported to achieve more pronounced fading in some patients. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy and the side effects of IPL treatment of PWS in a direct comparison to the short-pulsed dye laser (SPDL) and the long-pulsed dye la...

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is effective for the treatment of lentigines, telangiectasia, and generalized erythema, but is less effective in the removal of skin wrinkles. Fractional laser is effective on skin wrinkles and textural irregularities, but can induce postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), especially in Asians. This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of ablative fractional lase...

Intense pulsed light (IPL) has been a popular nonablative treatment of photodamage. A prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blinded, split-face pilot study compared the efficacy and safety of 2 multitechnology broadband pulsed light platform devices: an IPL device (Lumenis One, Lumenis Corporation, Santa Clara, CA) and a fluorescent pulsed light with advanced fluorescent technology (AFT, ...

UNLABELLED Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) photodepilation is usually performed as a hair removal method. The treatment is recommended to be indicated by a physician, depending on each patient and on its characteristics. However, the use of laser devices by medical laypersons is frequent and it can suppose a risk of damage for the patients. Most side effects associated to IPL photodepilation are tra...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the efficacy of an intense pulsed light (IPL) irradiator system for the treatment of port-wine stains (PWS) resistant to multiple pulsed dye laser (PDL) treatments. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen PWS patients, who were previously found to be resistant to multiple PDL treatments, were treated four times with a second generation IPL sy...

Different lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) sources have been used over the last years to achieve reduction of facial telangiectasias. Multiple studies have shown IPL to be effective using subjective assessment of results, and one study has also shown long-term effects as judged by photos and patient self-assessment.. For the purpose of getting an objectice evaluation of the effect of IPL o...

Purpose. This study aims to explore the safety and efficacy of a novel treatment-intense pulsed light (IPL) in MGD eyes. Methods. This study is a prospective and open label study. Forty eyes of 40 MGD patients were recruited in the study and received 4 consecutive IPL treatments on day 1, day 15, day 45, and day 75. Ten ocular surface symptoms were evaluated with a subjective face score at ever...

The Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) may be used for the treatment of acne, photoepilation, photorejuvenation and more recently their use has been advocated for treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction and dry eye. For the treatment of dysfunction of the meibomian gland, Intense Pulsed Light was used with the same acne treatment settings in the scenario Fitzpatrick type 1, fluent between 8 and 12 J/c...
