“…While there is currently no accepted gold standard, fractional ablative and non‐ablative lasers are among the most popular options 1,9 . The combination of both techniques in one system offers the superior efficacy of ablative treatment, along with the faster healing time and minimal discomfort associated with non‐ablative methods, and has proven beneficial for a variety of skin conditions 7,8,10,11 . In conclusion, findings from this study demonstrate the potential of the hybrid fractional laser system as a safe and effective method to achieve satisfactory aesthetic results with minimal downtime, making it a promising treatment approach for SD.…”

“…The development of hybrid fractional laser devices allows clinicians to effectively treat a wide range of indications, taking advantage of the benefits of both ablative and non‐ablative lasers 7 . More recently, Tsur‐Shenhav et al 8 . have demonstrated that a single‐pass treatment with a dual CO 2 and 1,570 nm hybrid fractional laser yielded impressive clinical outcomes in periorbital rejuvenation in 24 patients, with a strong safety profile and a relatively simple recovery.…”

BackgroundStriae distensae (SD) are common skin lesions that are difficult to treat and affect quality of life. Laser and light are emerging non‐invasive therapies that have proven successful in treating SD. Recently, hybrid laser devices offering simultaneous fractional ablative and non‐ablative laser treatment have been reported to benefit various skin conditions.ObjectiveTo evaluate the improvement of SD treated with a hybrid laser system and to analyze associations with patient characteristics.MethodsWe performed a retrospective study in which 28 adults with SD were treated with a hybrid laser device. Efficacy was evaluated by the assessment of aesthetic improvement by the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) of 1–10 and by patients' satisfaction using a scale of 0–10 satisfaction scale. Pain and adverse events were monitored. Statistical analysis was used to examine the potential impact of various factors on treatment outcomes.ResultsThe mean GAIS score was 7.36 ± 1.06 with a positive correlation with patient satisfaction (r = 0.685) and a weak negative correlation with patient age (r = −0.0057). Skin type and body area did not show significant associations with GAIS scores (P > 0.05 for both). No adverse events were observed.ConclusionThis study demonstrates the potential of the hybrid laser system as a safe and effective method to achieve satisfactory aesthetic results with minimal downtime, making it a promising treatment approach for SD. Treatment outcomes were independent of patient characteristics, further supporting its widespread use.

“…However, a relatively long recovery (5.9 ± 1.7 days) was described. 17 In the search for a more balanced procedure, this study used the same side-by-side lasing mode, to compare the safety and efficacy of a single high-setting treatment versus 2-3 low-moderate-setting treatments for facial rejuvenation. In most parameters, a superiority was found to the latter.…”

“…The side‐by‐side (AFL & NAFL in different pixels) mode was evaluated in a recent publication that reported a 26%–50% improvement in the periorbital area after a single pass treatment. However, a relatively long recovery (5.9 ± 1.7 days) was described 17 …”

ObjectivesFractional laser treatments for facial skin rejuvenation is an evolving field with the increase of innovative technologies. Typically, better results are achieved by using more aggressive approaches although this is accompanied by an increased risk. The demand for a modality that combines efficacy with minimal downtime and risk of adverse events led to the development of a hybrid laser, which delivers a fractional treatment of ablative CO2 and nonablative 1570 nm lasers, simultaneously. This study compares the clinical results, side effects, and downtime profile of the hybrid laser in multiple low‐to‐moderate‐setting treatments versus a single high‐setting treatment in the facial area.Materials and MethodsThis retrospective single‐center study included 44 patients who underwent 1–3 treatments with the hybrid laser for facial rejuvenation between the years 2020–2022. The patients were divided into two groups based on the number of treatments they had received (Group A; single high‐setting treatment, Group B; 2–3 low‐to‐moderate setting treatments). Three independent nontreating physicians evaluated the objective improvement by assessing the patients' standardized clinical photographs before and after the treatments, using three different scales. Treatment data, adverse events, and patients' satisfaction in each group were also reviewed.ResultsA superiority to 2–3 low‐to‐moderate setting treatments (Group B) was found in most of the evaluated scales. Patients' satisfaction was significantly higher in Group B, and the average downtime was significantly lower: 4.3 ± 1.6 days versus 7.3 ± 2.3 days in Group A. The expected treatment effects were significantly milder in severity in Group B as graded by the patients, and no adverse events were reported in this group. An average overall improvement of 51%–75% according to Global Esthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) was found in both groups.ConclusionsThe new hybrid laser generates remarkable clinical outcomes in facial rejuvenation. Performing several treatments at mild to moderate settings can lead to a safer and more favorable procedure while maintaining high efficacy and achieving higher patients' satisfaction.

“…Combinations of thulium 1940 nm and diode 1550 nm (Candela® Nordlys Frax Pro), CO 2 and 1570 nm (Alma Hybrid™), or erbium and 1470 nm (Sciton HALO™) have shown good efficacy in skin rejuvenation. [24][25][26] Laser resurfacing is also increasingly being used to help improve the absorption and efficacy of transepidermal drug delivery of more hydrophilic actives by breaching the lipophilic stratum corneum. 28 However, this treatment concept is limited by molecular size, lipid solubility and the formulation of the drug.…”

Anti‐aging trends in Australia

Anti‐aging trends in Australia have changed considerably since the country emerged from the lockdowns associated with the SARS‐Cov2 pandemic. People now rely on social media influencers for skin care advice and skin care products, including professional skin care treatments that can be purchased on Internet platforms. The quest for the perfect ‘zoom face’ led to a 300% rise in cosmetic procedures across Australia in the year to April 2021. People now want to use less products on their skin, while looking healthy and natural (termed ‘skin minimalism’). The popularity of retinoid derivatives for preventing wrinkles has been superseded by non‐irritating actives like hyaluronic acid (HA) and niacinamide that provide skin barrier protection, skin hydration, plumping and anti‐inflammatory effects. Botulinum toxin injections remain the most popular non‐surgical cosmetic procedure, followed by HA fillers, and biostimulators that promote the synthesis of collagen and give longer lasting but more gradual results than HA fillers. Laser resurfacing is widely used for epidermal resurfacing and skin tightening, as well as non‐ablative lasers, intense pulsed light and radiofrequency or ultrasound skin tightening devices. Superficial chemical peels are still popular because they are relatively gentle, inexpensive, and require no downtime, whereas medium‐to‐deep chemical peels have largely been superseded by laser technology. However, the most efficient approach to prevent skin aging is adopting a healthy lifestyle and taking action against all factors of the skin aging exposome.
