Facial rejuvenation by lasers that target water has been a mainstay of esthetic laser treatments for decades. Modern lasers more commonly treat a fraction of the skin surface using ablative, semi-ablative or non-ablative pulses. Twenty subjects with visible evidence of chronic photoaging on the face were enrolled in this study. All subjects receive...

The ability of ablative fractional lasers (AFL) to enhance topical drug uptake is well established. After AFL delivery, however, drug clearance by local vasculature is poorly understood. Modifications in vascular clearance may enhance AFL-assisted drug concentrations and prolong drug dwell time in the skin. Aiming to assess the role and modifiabili...

While combined laser and topical treatments are currently a common approach to melasma treatment, data on the efficacy and safety of this combined therapy remain scarce, with studies showing varied results. To compare the efficacy and safety of hydroquinone (HQ) cream alone versus HQ cream combined with 755-nm picosecond (PS) laser in the treatment...

The aim of the present study was to compare the results of fractional microneedle radiofrequency (FMR) therapy in vegan and omnivorous participants. A total of 30 vegan and 30 omnivorous women who were treated with FMR therapy for combating aging were included in the study. The clinical results were examined in Months 3 and 6 based on the Fitzpatri...

Laser hair removal (LHR) is a common practice with increasing use worldwide. Clinical and dermoscopic changes in melanocytic nevi after LHR have been reported but prospective studies are lacking. To describe dermoscopic changes of melanocytic nevi at different time points after LHR. Prospective study in a cohort of female patients undergoing diode ...

We previously developed a real-time fluorescence imaging topography scanning (RFITS) system for intraoperative multimodal imaging, image-guided surgery, and dynamic surgical navigation. The RFITS can capture intraoperative fluorescence, color reflectance, and surface topography concurrently and offers accurate registration of multimodal images. The...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) uses low coherence interferometry to obtain depth-resolved tissue reflectivity profiles (M-mode) and transverse beam scanning to create images of two-dimensional tissue morphology (B-mode). Endoscopic OCT imaging probes typically employ proximal or distal mechanical beam scanning mechanisms that increase cost, com...

Hematoporphyrine injection (HpD)-based photodynamic therapy (HpD-PDT) has emerged as a promising cancer therapy. However, its tumor-targeting ability and metabolokinetics in nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) have not been well explored. Importantly, photodynamic diagnosis is widely used for cancer lesion assessment and positioning to ensure effective ...

One of the reported pathways of cancer spread is the transcoelomic pathway, which is understood as the spread of cancer cells in the abdominal and thoracic cavities through interstitial fluid. It has been proven that the shear stresses caused by microfluidic currents on cancer tumors in the abdominal and thoracic cavities cause the detachment of ca...
