RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the clinical effects and safety of Er:YAG fractional laser for facial rejuvenation.Methods Altogether 559 patients aged from 32 to 58 years old with obvious pigmentary lesions and wrinkles in the face were given 2 courses of restoration treatment with the Pixel Er:YAG fractional laser.The patients paid a return visit a month later after the last treatment.With the results of clinical observation and photograph-based comparison,the therapeutic effects were graded by disappearance of pigmentary lesions and elimination of facial wrinkles.Complications such as hyperpigmentation,depigmentation and hyperplastic scar were observed.Results Among the 559 patients, there were 103 cases (18.4%) of slight effect, 378 cases (67.6%) of moderate effect, and 78 cases (14%) of excellent effect,with the total effective rate of 100% and a satisfactory rate of 81.6%.The was no complication such as hyperpigmentation,depigmentation and hyperplastic scar occurred.Effective maintaining rate within 6 months was 67%.Conclusion Er:YAG fractional laser is safe and effective for facial rejuvenation and worthy of promotion.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nonablative radiofrequency in facial rejuvenation.Methods A total of 198 patients with facial skin relaxing or wrinkles in the 153rd Central Hospital of PLA from July 2010 to March 2015 were treated with nonablative radiofrequency,of which 42 cases were male,156 cases were female,the ages were from 30 to 60 years old,Fitzpatrick skin type was Ⅲ~Ⅳ.The nonablative radiofrequency were performed in all the patients.Output:Monopolar RF 90~110W,Bipolar RF 40~45W,Periorbital RF 40~50W.The total course of treatment had 6 times with a fixed 10-day interval after each therapy.Results In 198 facial skin aging patients,the total effective rate was more than 90%,the half-year effective maintenance rate was more than 70%.Complications included slight oedema and mild erythema that were minor and transitory.Side effects such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation,epidermal burns and scar formation were not observed.Conclusion The nonablative radiofrequency is safe and effect on facial rejuvenation with less complications.
RESUMEN
Objective To study histologic characteristics of bilayer skin substitute reconstructed by cells from human hair follicle and whether the skin appendage can be induced based on the bilayer skin substitute.Methods After composite chitosan bilayer skin substitute was reconstructed with dermal papilla cells and outer root sheath cells or dermal sheath cells and outer root sheath cells,its histologic characteristics was investigated in vitro and after transplanted onto SD albino rats.Results Composite chitosan bilayer skin substitute reconstructed by cells from hair follicle had closely arranged epithelium cells and outstanding cornification;Epithelial cords linked with epidermis could be seen in dermis.However,there was no certain hair follicle-like structure formation either in vitro or in vivo.Conclusion Hair follicle cells are good source for skin substitute reconstruction,but it can not induce skin appendage formation through skin substitute by now.
