Cryolipolysis uses tissue cooling to solidify lipids, preferentially damaging lipid-rich cells. Topical cooling is popular for the reduction of local subcutaneous fat. Injection of biocompatible ice-slurry is a recently introduced alternative. We developed and verified a quantitative model that simulates the heat exchange and phase changes involved...

Mid-infrared (IR) ablative fractional laser treatments are highly efficacious for improving the appearance of a variety of dermatological conditions such as photo-aged skin. However, articulated arms are necessary to transmit the mid-IR light to the skin, which restricts practicality and clinical use. Here, we have assessed and characterized a nove...

Treating chronic cutaneous wounds is challenging, and debridement is a central concept in treating them. Studies have shown that CO2 laser debridement can control local infection and promote the wound healing process. The present study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of fully ablative CO2 laser debridement compared to routine surgical ...

The effect of photobiomodulation (PBM) treatment on wound healing and macrophage polarization was investigated in vivo. Animal models of oral ulcers were simulated through chemically induced oral ulcers in rats. PBM treatment using an infrared pulsed laser was used to treat oral ulcers in the animal models. Twelve Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly ...

The formation of hypertrophic scar is due to the abnormal accumulation and remodeling of the extracellular matrix, especially collagen tissue. Our research was designed to investigate the treatment effect of different administrations of human umbilical cord-derived stem cells and to hypertrophic scars on rabbit ears. Thirty New Zealand female white...

Light delivery is an essential part of therapy forms like photodynamic therapy (PDT), laser-induced thermotherapy, and endovenous laser therapy. While there are approaches to the light application for all three therapies, there is no diffuser that can be used for all three approaches. This diffuser must meet the following criteria: Homogeneous radi...

Previous studies reported that photobiomodulation (PBM) positively affects the mitochondrial respiratory chain in sperm, resulting in improved motility and velocity. As laser settings are not yet fully established, the present study aimed at optimizing PBM on human sperm. In addition, possible side-effects of PBM on sperm DNA fragmentation level an...

Disruption of the natural skin barrier in a controlled manner may be used to deliver drugs that enhance scar resolution. To compare the efficacy and safety of thermomechanical fractional injury (TMFI)-assisted topical corticosteroid delivery with corticosteroid injection in the treatment of hypertrophic scar (HTS). This was a randomized, split-scar...

Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) generates scalar image data from serial depths in the skin, allowing in vivo examination of cellular features. The maximum imaging depth of RCM is approximately 250 µm, to the papillary dermis, or upper reticular dermis. Frequently, important diagnostic features are present in the dermis, hence improved visuali...
