Quantitative evaluation of collagen and elastic fibers after intense pulsed light treatment of mouse skin
ConclusionIPL treatment significantly increased the number of collagen and elastic fibers within the dermis and improved the parallel distribution of collagen fibers in relation to the epidermis. These results were evident after three IPL treatments. Lasers Surg. Med. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. (Source: Lasers in Surgery and Medicine)

The synergistic effect of PDT and oxacillin on clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus
ConclusionsPDT with porphyrins shows possible new therapeutic options in treating drug‐resistant S. aureus at body sites suitable for irradiation. The synergistic effect of DP‐PDT with oxacillin on clinical strains illustrates the potential of PDT to augment traditional antibiotic treatment based on cell wall inhibitors. Lasers Surg.

Comparative evaluations of hypertrophic scar formation in in vivo models
ConclusionThe proposed chemical burn can be the optimal method to create collagenous scar tissue in the mouse model. Further in vivo investigations with rat models will be performed to validate the current technique for laser scar treatment in terms of reliability and immunohistochemical responses. Lasers Surg.

Effect of laser therapy on quality of life in patients with radiation ‐induced breast telangiectasias
ConclusionBreast cancer patients with RIBT presented with substantial deficits in several HR‐QOL arenas. Laser monotherapy effectively treated the appearance of radiation dermatitis in these patients and also significantly improved HR‐QOL. Lasers Surg. Med. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Comparison of hybrid and cross fragmentation patterns in terms of phaco time and corneal effects
ConclusionThe hybrid fragmentation method resulted in less time spent with the phaco being on and with less phaco power. It also caused less loss in ECC and milder changes in CT during the early post‐operative time. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. (Source: Lasers in Surgery and Medicine)

Nevi and lasers: Practical considerations
Lasers are increasingly used for elective ablation of melanocytic nevi (MN). However, the associated risks of treating MN with lasers are debated and not well studied. Theoretical risks include inadvertently treating a melanoma mistaken for a nevus, the inability to remove all nevus cells and the possibility for residual cells to undergo malignant transformation, and the difficulty in clinically monitoring the remnant nevus for melanoma progression. Additional concerns include the morphological suitability of a lesion for laser removal and managing patients’ expectations about the variable cosmetic outcomes. These potent...

Complications from microfocused transcutaneous ultrasound: Case series and review of the literature
ConclusionDespite their rarity, serious adverse events secondary to MFUS are nevertheless possible and may be underreported. Early management of complications includes local wound care, patient reassurance, and topical corticosteroids and/or pulsed‐dye laser to mitigate inflammatory sequelae. Other cosmetic and surgical therapies should be utilized when conservative measures have failed. Lasers Surg. Med. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. (Source: Lasers in Surgery and Medicine)
