Aims of this study were to assess whether patient-selected music during fractional ablative laser procedures enhances the patient experience, reduces perception of pain and anxiety, and impacts whether the patient would recommend the treatment to others and choose the treatment again.Methods: Patients were 18 or over, receiving ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser treatment for any cause. Patients were offered to select the music played during their treatment and then asked to fill in a feedback questionnaire post treatment.Results: A significant majority of 83.3% reported that the music enhanced their experience compared to previous treatments or compared to what they expected (25/30, p < .001). Music also significantly improved the likelihood that patients would recommend the treatment to others (n = 14, p < .05).Conclusion: Music significantly enhances the experience of patients undergoing ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser resurfacing and increases the likelihood they will recommend the treatment to others. This appears to be independent of any perceived change in levels of pain or anxiety.","PeriodicalId":54852,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143694066","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}

While the literature has primarily focused on dermal reactions as side effects of PDLLA injections, ophthalmic complications are rarely mentioned.Case description: We describe a presentation of severe visual loss and ophthalmalgia in a patient after injection with PDLLA subcutaneous filler at the nasal region who had been diagnosed with right eye iatrogenic ocular ischemic syndrome combined with central retinal artery occlusion. Despite treatment with ocular massage, intravitreal Aflibercept injection, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, her vision remained persistently impaired.Discussion and conclusion: This appears to be the first reported case of iatrogenic ocular ischemic syndrome combined with central retinal artery occlusion following PDLLA subcutaneous filler treatment.

However, the prominent skin discolouration is troublesome for patients, prompting them to seek remedies for quick resolution. We highlight the importance of using long pulsed NdYAG laser as a treatment modality to speed the resolution of ecchymoses from 14 days to 24-48 hr in skin-type V-VI with negligible side effects, as its potential use is not widely known. We report on the first successful case series using this laser in skin-type V-VI.Objectives: To assess the efficacy of long-pulsed NdYAG laser in early resolution of ecchymoses.Methods: Six adults with skin types IV-VI with at least one ecchymosis were enrolled in the study. Subjects received treatment with the vascular mode 1064 nm long-pulsed NdYAG laser; (ALMA-Q multifunctional Q-switched ALMA laser). The number of treatment sessions varied from one to two at 3-day intervals. Photographs were taken pre-treatment, at 72 h, and 5 days post-treatment.Results: In all six subjects, accelerated resolution of the treated bruise was evident. Treated lesions showed an average improvement of 80% after 72 h of treatment. After one week of treatment, all treated bruises completely disappeared (100%). No adverse effects were noted in any of the patients with no pain during the treatment sessions.Limitations: Small sample size.Conclusion: Our findings show this laser is safe and effective for rapidly resolving ecchymoses, reducing patient downtime without experiencing color changes when treated promptly.","PeriodicalId":54852,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"43-46"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143460858","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}

This split-face and evaluator-blind study compared the efficacy and safety of multiple consecutive NAFL (1565 nm Er: glass laser) and a single AFL (10600 nm CO2 laser) in the treatment of facial atrophic acne scars. 13 subjects with V, U and M-shape atrophic scars were treated with either NAFL group (once a month for 3 consecutive sessions of 1565 nm Er: glass laser) or AFL group (a single session of fractional CO2 laser). We found that both AFL group and NAFL group showed decreased 4-point scale and ECCA scores for respective V, U, M types, but there was no statistically difference between the two groups. NAFL group showed lower pain score, less oozing and crusting, and shorter duration of the adverse effects as well. The average satisfaction score was higher in NAFL group, although there was no statistically significance. In conclusion, consecutive triple NAFL treatment could approach a single AFL treatment for atrophic acne scars, while NAFL treatment causes less pain and fewer adverse events.","PeriodicalId":54852,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"17-23"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143392488","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}

Parameters such as treatment protocols, patient demographics, and outcome measures were analyzed to assess the laser's therapeutic associations. The literature search composed of clinical trials or review articles. Studies were additionally identified by searching reference lists of included articles. Only articles in English were utilized for this review.Results: The 675 nm laser demonstrates efficacy in addressing aging-related skin changes, including facial rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction, with significant improvement observed in skin texture and collagen remodeling. Additionally, the laser exhibits promising outcomes in treating melasma and hyperpigmentation disorders, acne vulgaris, and striae distensae, offering selective damage to target tissues with minimal adverse effects.Conclusions: The 675 nm laser presents a versatile and innovative therapeutic option in dermatology, offering noninvasive treatment modalities for various health and cosmetic concerns.
