P hotoaging refers to the effects of long-term ultraviolet (UV) exposure and sun damage superimposed on intrinsically aged skin. The clinical signs associated with photoaging include dyspigmentation, laxity, a yellow hue, wrinkles, telangiectasia, a leathery appearance, and cutaneous malignancy. 1 These changes often occur gradually as a person ages but can develop earlier if extensive UV exposure and photodamage have taken place. When patients present early with photodamage, their concerns are often cosmetic, inquiring about treatments for rhytides, skin roughness, laxity, and mottled appearance. 2
The S-Caine Peel provided effective and safe dermal anesthesia after only a 30-minute application period for nonablative laser treatment with the 1450-nm diode laser. The unique vehicle readily delivers anesthetic to contoured regions of the body and eliminates the need for occlusion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
