Although, a large proportion of subjects belong to this category, literature is limited except for a few studies that focuses on pigmentation. However, traditional skin concerns on various ethnic groups will enhance modern treatment strategies of various skin types. The Sri Lankan indigenous medicinal system is unique. Thousands of years of history has made it evident that this system has a treatment for any illness, including rare dermatological conditions. There is a rich collection of medicinal plants and herbal products, which have been used for ages for cutaneous treatment, skin care and aesthetic purposes [1]. As there is a lack of modern research on skin care and the treatment of this skin type, secrets of ancient skin will promote the effectiveness of current skin care and treatments for this ethnic skin type.","PeriodicalId":377666,"journal":{"name":"JOJ Dermatology & Cosmetics","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127253844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While its effectiveness in removing tattoos has been well documented, demonstrating its use in other skin lesions is an ongoing process. Because quality switched nanosecond lasers and picosecond lasers share a similar mechanism, clinicians hope that picosecond lasers will prove to be useful for similar skin lesions. There has been a great focus in particular on proving its effectiveness in treating pigmented lesions, acne scarring, photodamage, and wrinkling. The early data and impressive safety profile of picosecond lasers suggest that clinicians may have another tool they can use to treat these troublesome skin conditions particularly in patients with darker skin types. picosecond lasers. While these early studies are limited by patient numbers, the results have been promising and the safety profile is maintained in all skin types.","PeriodicalId":377666,"journal":{"name":"JOJ Dermatology & Cosmetics","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125460346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But over time, the facial fat pads get redistributed, they do atrophy and get separated [1-6].
