Clinical efficacy of low energy intense pulsed light for facial sensitive skin / 中华整形外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To observe the therapeutic effect and adverse effect of low energy Intense pulsed light for facial sensitive skin.@*Methods@#A total of 30 patients with facial sensitive skin were treated with low energy Intense pulsed light (540-950 nm), with the energy density being 7.0 J/cm2, the pulse width being 15 ms, 1 pass, and the overlap of light spot being 10%. The treatment was given once a week, 4 treatments as a course. All patients were evaluated before and 1 week after treatment, and the images were collected and analyzed by VISIA.@*Results@#According to the self evaluation of patients there were 19 (63.3%) patients with the index of more than 50% and according to physician evaluation there were 16 (53.3%) patients. The pigment spots and red blood streaks of the facial skin were significantly improved after low energy intense pulsed light treatment as shown by VISIA image analysis.@*Conclusions@#Low energy intense pulsed light therapy is effective for some refractory facial sensitive patients without adverse effect.
