- Abstract:
- Established skin resurfacing methods causing superficial wounds and extended recovery times have become less popular since the introduction of nonablative lasers. To evaluate the clinical efficacy of a nonablative 1450-nm diode laser system. Nine patients (Fitzpatrick skin type II-IV) with periorbital wrinkling class I-II were treated three times at 3-weekly intervals with a 1450-nm diode laser. Clinical outcome was determined by 25 independent dermatologists evaluating standardized photographs taken before treatment and 1 month after treatment. The patients were satisfied with the procedure, and reported a mild to moderate improvement in all cases. Among 25 dermatologists, only two provided ratings which were significantly in favour of a positive treatment effect. Nonablative laser treatment subjectively satisfies patients but does not convince objective judgement.
