Effective Treatment of Facial Redness Caused by Atopic Dermatitis Using Intense Pulsed Light Systems

Abstract

IPL treatment could be used as an adjunct modality for the treatment of refractory facial AD with minimal side effects.

Broadband Light Treatment for Multiple Benign Lichenoid Keratoses of Flat Erythematous Type

“…Case Report ergy with the cut-off wavelength of 590 nm can decrease inflammatory cell infiltration in the dermis, as the laser pulses from 595-nm pulsed dye lasers target dermal microvascular components. [7][8][9] Theoretically, laser or light energy sources at wavelengths ranging from 400 nm to 600 nm are more readily absorbed by oxyhemoglobin and melanin, compared to those at longer wavelengths over 600 nm. 10 However, the risk of significant vascular damage and associated side effects, particularly in Asian patients, is higher at wavelengths from 400 nm to 600 nm, compared to wavelengths over 600 nm.…”

Refinements in Brow Reconstruction: Synergy Between Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine

“…[1][2][3][4] Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a versatile tool used for treatment of a variety of clinical conditions: hypertrichosis and hirsutism, skin vascular lesions (port wine stains, rosacea, teleangectasias, erythrosis), acne, and skin aging. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] This case report presents an interesting combined application of traditional reconstructive surgery and IPL for the restoration of a post-traumatic eyebrow defect.…”

“…Our experience demonstrated the efficacy of the integrated multidisciplinary approach involving traditional plastic reconstructive surgery and the innovative new technologies [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] in aiming for perfection.…”

“…4 IPL is a very versatile tool that proved its effectiveness in a variety of skin conditions: hypertrichosis and hirsutism, skin vascular lesions (port wine stains, rosacea, teleangectasias, erythrosis), acne, and skin aging. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The potential combination of different wavelengths, fluences, pulse durations, and pulse intervals allows a patient customized treatment within a wide spectrum of therapeutic indications. In our case, we deliberately preferred IPL to laser for hair removal, as its lesser hair count reduction could provide a smooth hair thinning out rather than an aggressive and more radical epilation in the reconstructed eyebrow.…”

Modified 3-Step Broadband Light Treatment for Inflammatory Acne Vulgaris and Post-Acne Erythema in Asian Patients

“…9 A previous study demonstrated that BBL treatments at a cut-off of 590 nm, a fluence of 12 to 13 J/cm 2 , and a pulse duration of 30 msec in patients with atopic dermatitis significantly reduced not only erythema, but also scaling, inflammatory papules, and lichenification. 9 In this report, a single pass of 590-nm BBL treatment in step 2 was delivered at a fluence of 15 J/cm 2 , a pulse duration of 200 msec, and a cooling crystal temperature of 15°C in modification of the second step previously suggested when the 3-step protocol was introduced, which utilized a cut-off filter of 560 or 590 nm, a fluence of 15 J/cm 2 , a pulse duration of 15 msec, and 2-3 passes.…”
