Advances in fractional technology for skin rejuvenation, skin tightening, drug delivery, and treating scars and skin defects.
Authors: Connolly D, Schilling L, Saedi N
Abstract
The development of fractional photothermolysis has revolutionized the treatment of skin scarring, rejuvenation, and tightening. By creating targeted microthermal zones and leaving surrounding tissue intact, this concept has provided the field with efficacious results, with less downtime and a better safety profile. This has started to change the paradigm of what is considered first-line treatment for scarring and rejuvenation. While originally applied to nonablative lasers, fractionation has now been employed in ablative, quality-switched, picosecond, and ...

Short-pulsed laser for the treatment of tattoos, pigmented lesions, scars and rejuvenation.
Authors: Tanghetti EA, Hoffmann KA, Hoffmann K
Abstract
This review describes the use of picosecond lasers for the treatment of tattoos, pigmented lesions, scars, and their use in rejuvenation. These devices have delivered enhanced efficacy for the treatment of tattoos and pigmented lesions when compared to the older 40-50 nanosecond devices. The fractional delivery with the picosecond devices have opened up a new method of rejuvenation for photodamaged skin and the treatment of scars. The delivery of these high-energy short pulses have created zones of injury in the skin referred to as areas of laser-indu...

Microneedling: a new approach for treating textural abnormalities and scars.
Authors: Hogan S, Velez MW, Ibrahim O
Abstract
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure wherein small holes are created across the stratum corneum while keeping the epidermis partially intact. This produces microchannels that increase skin permeability and simultaneously stimulate growth factor release. Since the epidermis is retained, microneedling has less risk of infection, postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, and scarring compared to other resurfacing modalities. This is a review of the literature on microneedling in the treatment of textural abnormalities, specifically rhytides, scars, and stria...

Noninvasive body contouring.
Authors: Lee NY, Robinson DM
Abstract
In a society where stigma surrounds cosmetic procedures and yet a thin and sculpted physique is idealized, noninvasive body contouring satisfies the demand to reduce excess and undesired body fat in areas that persist despite exercise and diet. Numerous devices are available to meet this need; however, choosing the "perfect" device is challenging because the science and data are often limited with variable results. In this paper, we review 7 US Food and Drug Administration-approved noninvasive body contouring therapies in hopes of providing some clarity to this area.

Cellulite: a review of pathogenesis-directed therapy.
Authors: Callaghan DJ, Robinson DM, Kaminer MS
Abstract
Cellulite is a condition that affects the majority of postpubertal women and can negatively impact quality of life. This review discusses several proposed pathophysiologies of cellulite, and examines treatment options that have been utilized, focusing on the etiologic factor targeted by the therapies. This approach aims to help clarify the pathogenesis of cellulite and provide a road map for developing effective treatment paradigms for patients.

Laser advances in the treatment of burn and traumatic scars.
Authors: Khetarpal S, Kaw U, Dover JS, Arndt KA
Abstract
The realm of scar management is constantly changing. Many factors need to be considered when developing a comprehensive treatment plan, including the nature of the scar and the patient. Scar characteristics can be divided by color, scar type and thickness, and body location. Topical and intralesional agents and light- and laserbased treatments can be used to revitalize and restore damaged skin in atrophic and hypertrophic scars. The most commonly used lasers are the pulsed-dye laser (PDL) and fractional lasers. Ideally, a combination approach using t...

Opportunities for laser-assisted drug delivery in the treatment of cutaneous disorders.
Authors: Wenande E, Erlendsson AM, Haedersdal M
Abstract
Fractional laser-assisted drug delivery (LADD) is increasingly finding its way into clinical practice as a new means to enhance topical drug uptake and improve treatment of cutaneous disorders. To date, LADD has been used for a wide range of conditions, including photodamaged skin, neoplastic lesions, scars, cutaneous infections, and vitiligo as well as for topical anesthetic and aesthetic procedures. Substantiated by randomized controlled clinical trials, strong evidence is available for LADD's usefulness for photodynamic therapy (PDT), for which im...

Skin tightening-does it really exist?
Authors: Boen M, Vanaman Wilson MJ, Fabi S
Abstract
Skin tightening is one of the cornerstones of skin rejuvenation and is defined as the improvement of skin laxity and crepiness of the skin. There are several energy-based devices that can produce significant skin tightening without surgery, both on and off the face. The mechanisms of skin tightening involve collagen denaturation resulting in collagen shrinkage and tissue tightening, and the wound healing response that generates new collagen and elastin. These hypothesized mechanisms of skin contraction leading to clinical skin tightening have been derived...

State-of-the-art lasers and light treatments for vascular lesions: from red faces to vascular malformations.
Authors: Valdebran M, Martin B, Kelly KM
Abstract
Notable milestones in the treatment of vascular lesions have been achieved over the past century. Many cutaneous vascular lesions can be successfully treated with lightbased devices. In this review, we will discuss the treatment of port-wine birthmarks, lymphatic malformations, infantile hemangiomas, rosacea, venous lakes, pyogenic granulomas, cherry angiomas, and angiofibromas using lasers, total reflection amplification of spontaneous emission of radiation, intense pulsed light, and photodynamic therapy. In addition, for several of these diagnoses, we wil...

Curriculum United for Better Eczema Care: why, how, and what?
Authors: Eichenfield LF, Ahluwalia J, Davis DM, Fleischer DM, Waldman A, Spergel J
Abstract
While various medical specialties treat eczema patients, care for these patients is largely fragmented and disorganized. Moreover, standardized treatment protocols that incorporate upcoming eczema therapies and emerging guidelines have yet to be established. Thus, there is both a need and an opportunity to equip clinicians to succeed in this novel and changing era of eczema care. The National Eczema Association's (NEA) strategic plan-developed through extensive discussions with patients who have atopic dermatitis an...

Diagnosis, comorbidity, and psychosocial impact of atopic dermatitis.
Authors: Davis DM, Waldman A, Jacob S, LeBovidge J, Ahluwalia J, Tollefson M, Jetter N, Spergel J
Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, with a remitting relapsing course. The central diagnostic features of AD include pruritus, xerosis, eczematous lesions with a characteristic morphology and distribution, and a personal or family history of atopic disease. Several clinical studies have emphasized the link between AD and other atopic disorders including asthma, allergic rhinitis, and food allergies. More recent studies indicate possible links between AD and other nonatopic d...
