The Safe and Effective Profile of Using the 1340 nm Wavelength in Conjunction with Other Therapeutic Modalities for Skin Rejuvenation. A Case Series.

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.
