Abstract
Objective: This study provided clinical findings supporting the use of combination techniques/products and Nd:YAP 1340 nm fractional laser therapy, for soft-tissue augmentation in light- and darker-skin phototypes. Background: The face's aging process is complex and involves skin alterations, connective tissues, bone, and fat layers of the face. Methods: A total of 17 female patients were treated for wrinkles and for scars with the use of Nd:YAP 1340 nm fractional laser combined with other cosmetic therapies. The mean of 4.6(±1.9) laser treatment sessions every 1 month were performed. The combined therapy was administered every 3 months during the total course of the laser treatments. Results: The total mean improvement was 3.64(±0.49). Clinical images showed a visible aesthetic improvement. No adverse events have been reported. Conclusion: The combination therapies used have shown promise in maintaining safety and tolerability while improving patient results for the management of skin aging.
