“…21 One study showed that a specific IPL device focused on the narrow region of 550-680 nm was able to induce fibroblast activation and increase collagen formation leading to dermal remodeling. 22 Collagen remodeling in the skin involves not only the proliferation of new collagen but also the degradation of denatured collagen. Collagen degradation is triggered by both matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) secretion and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) inhibition.…”

BackgroundPigmented lesions are largely benign and may lead to extreme distress. Various light and lasers may be used to treat pigmentation, often Q‐switched lasers are considered the method of choice, while intense pulsed light (IPL) devices may offer a less invasive treatment with a shorter downtime.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a narrowband IPL module for the treatment of pigmented lesions.MethodsA retrospective study of 20 patients with pigmented lesions underwent treatment with an IPL module. Treatment was assessed by blinded evaluation of clinical photographs using a GAIS scale of 0–10, as well as through patient satisfaction ratings on a scale of 0–10. Throughout the treatment, pain levels and adverse events were monitored.ResultsThe mean GAIS score was 7.55 ± 1.15 (mean ± SD), and the mean patient satisfaction score was 7.3 ± 1.26 (mean ± SD). There was a strong positive correlation between GAIS and patient satisfaction scores (r = 0.83), and no significant difference between them (p‐value = 0.516). The number of treatments did not significantly affect GAIS and patient satisfaction scores (p‐values 0.364 and 0.126). Additional positive unexpected outcomes were improved skin firmness and reduced wrinkles.ConclusionThe results of the study indicate that the IPL module is both safe and effective in treating pigmented lesions and may have the potential to stimulate collagen production.

“…The equipment can emit radiation of wide spectrum covering a variety of absorbance peaks of different targets, such as melanin, oxyhemoglobin and water. Therefore, the equipment can be used to treat multiple diseases, such as pigmented hyperplasia, angiogenesis, hypertrichosis and hirsutism [2][3][4][5][6][7] . However, as a widely used phototherapy equipment, there is no national or local metrological specifications applicable to xenon light source equipment for therapeutic use in China, and the corresponding traceability system of the equipment has not been established yet.…”

This article studies the key technical parameters such as “short wavelength boundary,” “energy density,” “energy output uniformity,” and “pulse duration” of xenon light source equipment for therapeutic use, determines the measurement standard, and presents an applicable metrological performance evaluation method for the equipment. The evaluation procedure presented in this article has been performed on several typical types of xenon light source equipment for therapeutic use widely used in China, and the experimental results show that the evaluation method presented in this article is scientific and effective, and can be adopted for the periodic calibration of the equipment, in order to establish the metrological traceability system of the equipment.
