Abstract

The intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy has three mechanisms of action in acne vulgaris: photochemical, photoimmunological, and photothermal. In this clinical trial, 47 patients with facial inflammatory acne lesions, ages ranging from 15 to 40 years, were enrolled. Patients were categorized into two groups: (a) 20 patients in Group A treated with IPL for 3 sessions, 3 weeks apart, (b) and 27 patients in Group B treated with benzoyl peroxide (BPO) 2.5% gel daily at night for 9 weeks. Follow up was done at 3 weeks after the end of treatment. The effect of treatment was evaluated objectively according to total lesion counting and digital photographic assessment and subjectively according to the patients' satisfaction. IPL is an effective and well-tolerated method for the treatment of inflammatory facial acne like BPO. Therefore, the IPL can be used as a standard therapy for inflammatory acne vulgaris.

强脉冲光对比过氧化苯甲酰。

强脉冲光治疗寻常性痤疮有光化学、光免疫和光热三种作用机制。在这项临床试验中，招募了47例面部炎性痤疮病变患者，年龄从15岁到40岁不等。将患者分为两组:(a) a组20例患者使用IPL治疗3个疗程，间隔3周;(b) b组27例患者使用过氧化苯甲酰(BPO) 2.5%凝胶治疗，每天夜间，连续9周。治疗结束后3周随访。主观上以患者满意度评价治疗效果，客观上以病变总数和数码摄影评价治疗效果。IPL是治疗炎性面部痤疮(如BPO)的有效且耐受性良好的方法。因此，IPL可作为炎性寻常痤疮的标准治疗方法。
