Conventional treatments often have limitations, prompting exploration into alternative therapies like vascular lasers and light treatments. This systematic review evaluates the efficacy and safety of vascular lasers (IPL, PDL, Nd:YAG) on inflammatory acne lesions associated with acne vulgaris. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. Studies from 2010 to 2024 were searched in databases (Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase) using preset terms. Inclusion criteria encompassed English language studies on vascular lasers for inflammatory acne lesions in comparative and randomized controlled trials. Data extraction included study characteristics, patient data, laser parameters, and treatment outcomes. Quality assessment utilized the Cochrane ROB 2 tool. Out of 904 initially retrieved studies, 32 studies involving 1,520 patients met the inclusion criteria. The studies focused on 18 Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), 9 Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL), and 10 Neodymium-Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Nd:YAG) lasers, with 5 studies comparing two modalities. IPL demonstrated acne vulgaris lesion reduction rates ranging from 42.40% to 61.56%, while PDL achieved reductions of up to 82.5%. Combined therapies, such as PDL/Nd:YAG, resulted in reductions as high as 83.5%. Fractional CO₂ lasers showed acne vulgaris lesion improvement rates of 87.94% ± 14.31, with sustained results at follow-up. Red light-PDT achieved an 85.50% ± 5.39 reduction, outperforming IPL-PDT (75.55% ± 8.09). In comparative studies, Nd:YAG lasers demonstrated slightly superior outcomes over IPL. Adverse effects, including erythema and pain, were generally mild, with severe side effects being rare. Vascular lasers, including IPL, PDL, and Nd:YAG, demonstrate significant efficacy and safety in treating inflammatory active acne vulgaris, with combination therapies often showing superior outcomes.

This study was a single-blind randomized controlled trial, with blinding applied only to the participants. 201 participants were scheduled for enrollment, divided into three groups with 67 individuals each. Finally, 63 participants with BMS were enrolled from April 2019 to December 2022, with 53 completing the study. Randomization was performed using SPSS software to generate random numbers. Participants were sequentially assigned based on their enrollment order to the 660 nm group (n = 10, 50 mW, 1.5 J/cm<sup>2</sup>, 30 s/point), 810 nm group (n = 26, 500 mW, 3 J/cm<sup>2</sup>, 6 s/point), or 975 nm group (n = 17, 30 mW, 10 J/cm<sup>2</sup>, 33 s/point).

In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of a low-energy Ga-Al-As diode laser (LLL) on PGE<sub>2</sub>-induced osteoclast differentiation of RAW264.7 (RAW) cells. RAW cells were stimulated with 10<sup>- 6</sup> M PGE<sub>2</sub> and irradiated with 810 nm LLL at 3.0 mW/cm<sup>2</sup> for 10 min. After LLL stimulation, the cells were cultured for five days and subjected to tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining. Expression levels of the osteoclastogenesis-inducing factors, receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand and nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1), were examined 24 and 48 h after PGE<sub>2</sub> stimulation and LLL irradiation. Extracellular ATP concentration was determined 0, 1, 5, 10, and 20 min after PGE<sub>2</sub> stimulation and LLL irradiation. Additionally, intracellular calcium concentration was measured as the fluorescence intensity of the cultured cells over time (20 s/scan) after 10 min of LLL irradiation. To investigate the nuclear translocation of NFATc1, the cells were fixed after 1 h of PGE<sub>2</sub> stimulation and LLL irradiation and subjected to immunofluorescence analysis. The same experiments were performed using the P2 × 4 receptor (ATP-gated channel) antagonist, 5-BDBD. Small osteoclasts were observed in the LLL irradiation group. Receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand and NFATc1 mRNA levels were not significantly different between the LLL-irradiated and non-irradiated groups. Extracellular ATP release and intracellular Ca<sup>2+</sup> levels were increased by PGE<sub>2</sub> stimulation but decreased by LLL irradiation and 5-BDBD treatment. Nuclear NFATc1 levels were also increased by PGE<sub>2</sub> stimulation, but this effect was reversed by LLL irradiation and 5-BDBD treatment. Overall, our results suggest that LLL irradiation inhibits PGE<sub>2</sub>-induced osteoclast differentiation by inhibiting Ca<sup>2+</sup>-NFATc1 signaling via extracellular ATP release.</p>","PeriodicalId":17978,"journal":{"name":"Lasers in Medical Science","volume":"40 1","pages":"163"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143736087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
