Six Months Follow Up Study ABSTRACT
The following study evaluates the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) system for long term hair removal. Forty six male and female patients with varied hair colors and Fitzpatrick skin types II, III, IV were enrolled in the study. Patients were treated with the IPL Hair Removal Hand Piece with wavelength range of 530-1200 nm. Pulse fluence ranged from 10 to 22 J/cm2 depending on the patient’s skin and hair type and pulse duration was 25 msec. Participants underwent 6-6 treatment sessions at a 6 week intervals. Results show significant long-term hair reduction of more than 80% on average observed 6 months following completion of the full treatment course. The study demonstrates the IPL system to be safe and effective of long term hair removal in patients of diversified skin types and varied hair colors. ( Smader Schreiber, MD)
INTRODUCTION:
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) systems were the first developed and introduced in the mid 1990's as an alternative to dermalogical lasers and have since become extremely common for a wide range of dermatological and aesthetic applications. Monochromacticity which is a key feature of laser light was found not to be a prerequisite since the three main chromophores targeted in phototherapy applications (hemoglobin, melanin and water) in human skin all have broad absorption peaks. Therefore, the coherence of light generated by laser systems renders each laser wavelength as a single application. It follows that filtered broad-band, non coherent, intense pulsed light can safely and effectively be applied for a range of dermatological and aesthetic applications under the same guidelines originally laid out by the Selective Photothemolysis theory for dermatological lasers. Moreover, IPL systems offer unique advantages over lasers in their versatility, convenience and cost effectiveness (1) Photoepilation is a technique for long term hair removal by thermal destruction of the hair follicle and its reproductive system (stem cells). Heat is generated by the conversion of light energy emitted from various light sources which is selectively absorbed by chomophores ) light sensitive molecules) in the skin. Melanin is the main chromophore in hair follicles and the key target for the process of photoepilation. Light penetration in skin increases with wave length and since hair follicles lie deep in the skin, optimal wavelengths for photoepilation are in the range of 550-1100 nm (2). Various light sources in this range (lasers and IPL's) emitting a broad light spectrum from 500 nm - 1200 nm were found to be safe and effective for photoepilation and received clearance for sale in both US and Europe (3)-(4).
STUDY OBJECTIVE:
The goal of this study is to evaluate the Intense Pulsed Light System for long term hair removal. The System is based on a filtered, Xennon flash lamp and is equipped with three different hand pieces witch can be attached for various clinical applications: Hair removal, acne clearance and skin rejuvenation. The hair removal hand piece emits light in the range of 530 - 1200 nm, at a maximum fluence of 22j/cm2 (level 15)using a spot size of 7/5 cm2 and the pulse duration is 25msec. Safe & effective long term hair removal , six month follow up study.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Forty-six mail and female patients, aged 10-48 years, with Fitzpatrick’s skin type II to IV were enrolled in the study. Patients division according to the skin type is as follows; Skin type II-13 patients; Skin Type III-29 patients and Skin Type IV-4 patients. Prior to commencement of the study, each patient filled a medical history form and signed an informed consent form. Hair counts in to the treated area were performed using a 50 mm x 15 mm template, with photographs of the treated area taken at baseline and at each treatment follow up visit, with and without the template. In total, eighty -six (86) different areas were treated. The fluence applied ranged from - 15 to 22 J/cm2 (fluence corresponds to treatment levels 10-15, depending on the patient's skin type and skin and hair response. At each treatment session, the area was first shaved and cold, transparent ultrasound get was applied to protect the epidermis. No anesthesia was required. Participants underwent 6-8 treatment sessions, with 6 week intervals between the sessions. During each treatment, pulses of light were applied, covering once the entire treatment area.
REULTS:
Results were evaluated 6 months after the final treatment session. Average hair count reduction results for the different anatomical areas are summarized in Table 2. ABSTAACT: The following study evaluates the Trois, Intense Pulse Light (IPL) system for long term hair removal. Forty six male and female patients with va4ried hair colors and Fitzpatrick skin types II, III, and IV were enrolled in the study. Patients wee treated with IPL hair removal hand set with wavelength rand of 530-1200 nm. Pulse fluence ranged from 10-22 J/cm2 depending on the patient's skin and hair type and pulse duration of 25 msec. Participants underwent 6-8 treatment sessions at a 6 week intervals. Results show significant long term hair reduction more that 80% on average observed 6 months following completion of the full treatment course. The study demonstrates the IPL system to be safe and effective for long term hair removal in patients diversified skin types and varied hair colors.
THREE MONTH FOLLOW UP STUDY:
ABSTRACT: The following study evaluates the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) system for the Twenty three patients with mild to moderate acne underwent two treatments per week for 4 weeks using the IPL Acne clearance applicator with wavelength of 400-1200 nm . Average fluence of pulses was 5Jcme with pulse duration of 25 msec. At three months follow up (50%-75%) compared to baseline. Overall average clearance of acne lesions was 88.83%. Patients also showed visible improvement in skin texture, tone and complexion. No adverse effects were reported. Except for mild and transient erythema.
INTRODUCTION :
Acne Vulgaris is an exceedingly common chronic skin disorder that affects approximately 40 million adolescents in the U.S. Alone the comprises more that 30% of all dermatological visits (1)-(2). The disorder is localized to the skin regions with a high number of sebaceous follicles such as the face, back and chest (3) . Acne Vulgaris may lead to long term scarring and disfigurement, and often contributes to a state of psychological distress, social withdrawal, clinical depression and suicide (4). Propionibacterium acne (P. acnes), responsible for the outbreak of inflammatory acne produce and accumulate endogenous porphyrins (namely protoporphyrin, uroporphyrin and coproporphyrin III) which are the target chomophores for the acne clearance application (5) (6). Light based therapy for acne was introduced a decade ago and has become accepted modality in the armamentarium of the acne treatments. Exposure of inflammatory acne lesions to light utilizing blue, green and red which are absorbed by the porphyrins induces a photochemical reaction which generates highly reactive, free radical singlet oxygen that subsequently causes bacterial destruction (7). The IPL acne phototherapy technique thus relies on combination of photochemical and photo thermal mechanisms of action. The wide spectral range of wavelengths optimizes the trade off between penetration depth and prophyrin activation efficiency. Blue
light 415 – 420 nm gives the strongest porphyrin photo activation but poorly penetrates into human skin, whereas green and red lights, although less effective in photo activation, have an increased depth of penetration into human skin that contributes to the stimulation of cytokine that is released from macrophages and induces an anti-inflammatory response (8) (9).
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Twenty tree patients between ages of 15-29 years, with mild to moderate facial acne, underwent two treatments per week for 4 weeks using the IPL acne clearance application, which emits wavelengths
400-1200 nm. During the treatment 30-55 pulses of 5j/cm2 at 25 msec duration were applied, covering
The entire treatment area with no more than 30% overlaps. After the completion of the above treatment
schedule, evaluations were held once a month for three consecutive months. Photographs of the treated
areas were taken at baseline, post treatments, 2, 4, 6, 8 and at each or the three monthly visits.
RESULTS:
All patients completed the treatment course and underwent monthly evaluation follow ups for 3 months
following the last treatment. Moreover, all patients reported good response to the treatment. At the
Third monthly follow up visit 83% (10/23) of the patients demonstrated significant clearance (>75%)
Compared with baseline (see figures 1 and 3). The rest of the patients, 17% (4/23), demonstrated moderate clearance (-66%) and underwent two additional treatments post third follow up visit. At the end of the treatment course and the tree follow up visits and average clearance of 88.83% was recorded for all 23 patients. (See figures 1 and 3). In 78% (18/23) of the patients, improvement was consistent
Throughout the study period. Interestingly enough, the patient’s assessments correlated with the actual
Acne lesion counts: 87% (20/23) assessed the improvement as significant and 13% (3/23) assessed the improvement as moderate. In all patients, a dramatic improvement in the skin texture, tone and complexion was also visible. With the exception of transient mild erythema, no adverse effects were reported and all patients completed the treatment course and underwent monthly evaluation follow ups for 3 months following the last treatment. Moreover, all patients reported good response to the treatment. |
