The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of the sequential combined 585 nm PDL and the 1064 nm neodymium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet laser (PDL/Nd:YAG) in the treatment of surgical scars and to evaluate the short-term effects by in vivo confocal microscopy (RCM) and the long-term effects by clinical assessment of the scars. Twenty-five patients were enrolled with 39 postoperative linear scars; each scar was divided into two fields. One half was treated with the combined PDL/Nd:YAG laser, whereas the other half remained untreated. Each scar was treated three times at monthly intervals. Scars were evaluated by an independent examiner, using the Vancouver Scar Scale. The combined PDL/Nd:YAG laser significantly improved the appearance of the scars. In order to study the short-term effects of combined laser treatment, six additional patients were enrolled with 7 postoperative linear scars. One half of scars was treated once with the combined PDL/Nd:YAG laser. One week after this laser treatment, both the treated and the nontreated parts of the scars were examined by dermoscopy and RCM. The dermoscopic pictures revealed improvements even in treated areas. In conclusion, the combined PDL/Nd:YAG laser was found to be effective in improving the quality and appearance of the surgical scars.

Postoperative scarring around the nasolabial area and alar rim poses very high cosmetic concerns, leading to patient dissatisfaction. Several strategies, like laser therapy, have been developed to improve its clinical aspects. However, to date, little is known about when in the early wound healing phases laser exposure would have the most optimal results. This paper introduces a remarkable case of effectively treating a 32-year-old male patient with scarring on the alar rim and nasolabial fold using early active laser treatment. We started carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) laser therapy early in the second month after surgery. In the course of laser treatment, we performed a combined treatment using an ablative fractional CO 2 laser device and the combination of pulsed-dye laser and neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser. A total of 7 sessions of CO 2 laser therapy and 3 sessions of cynergy laser therapy were performed, and the patient was followed-up for evaluation. These early laser treatments resulted in both patient and clinical satisfaction. In this case, we confirmed that early treatment with CO 2 laser and cynergy laser can have a positive effect on scarring of the alar rim and nasolabial fold. Key words

The possibility of using combined erbium and neodymium lasers to correct the age-related changes in the face and neck skin by the «Fotona» apparatus using the «Fotona 4D» technique was investigated. To evaluate the results of the study in dynamics an index of age-related changes in skin was developed and applied. The results of photographic fixation and ultrasound of the facial and neck skin before and after laser procedures were also compared. It was determined, that the combination of two wavelengths of 2940 nm (erbium laser) and 1064 nm (neodymium laser) and the «Fotona 4D» technique with 4 patented technologies allows to carry out the procedure at the level of superficial, middle and deep structures of the face and neck tissues. Nowadays it is the only technology for non-invasive volumetric reconstruction and facial skin voluminisation, which is the result of a combination of synergistic methods of laser exposure. It was shown that one month after the second procedure of laser treatment, the face skin turgor increased, its dryness, pore severity, quantity and depth of wrinkles decreased, side effects and complications were absent. Ultrasound examination of the facial skin and index of age- related changes assessing in the face skin confirmed the positive dynamics of correction. Thus, the thickness of the skin in the area of nasolabial folds and superciliary arches increased by 0,5 mm (from 1,9 to 2,4 mm), derma by 0,6 mm (0,8 to 1 mm). The index of age-related changes assessing in the facial skin decreased by 10-13 points (before the procedure it was within the range of 20-24 points (average degree of age changes), after the procedure it was 11 points (mild degree of age changes). Thus, the use of combined erbium and neodymium lasers using the «Fotona 4D» technique showed a high efficiency of laser correction of age-related changes in the facial skin. Implemention of modern technologies in practice of dermatological clinics will improve skills of medical personnel on the use of laser technology.

Cutaneous photoaging treated with a combined 595/1064 nm laser

Abstract: A novel combined sequential PDL/Nd:YAG laser can be used to treat a variety of cutaneous changes associated with photoaging. Further studies may determine the relative impact of each laser and whether the total effect is simply additive or synergistic
