Clinical Improvement Following Dermabrasion of Photoaged Skin Correlates With Synthesis of Collagen I

Full‐face photorejuvenation of photodamaged skin by intense pulsed light with integrated contact cooling: Initial experiences in Asian patients

“…With this wavelength, light absorbed by water in the dermis is heated which in turn non-selectively heats collagen fibers through conduction effects. In photorejuvenation using the 1320 nm wavelength as well as invasive procedures including dermabrasion, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing, the proliferation of Type I collagen has been seen during the process of wound healing [7]. In this study, however, the histological evaluation revealed that not only Type I but also Type III collagen stained at least comparably.…”

Micro-Mechanical Fractional Skin Rejuvenation

“…The relationship between the production of new collagen and the clinical improvement of photoaged skin was first noted with dermabrasion. 28 The creation of new, fine, compact collagen has been observed in the laser literature and may be the most important hallmark of skin rejuvenation. 12,29 We were able to detect an 89 percent increase in collagen content in our coring groups at 3 months.…”

Skin anti-aging strategies

“…There are various in-office procedures, most of which are intended to ‘resurface’ the epidermis: to remove the damaged epidermis and replace the tissue with remodeled skin layers and sometimes spur the formation of new collagen 21 , 63 . It is possible that the potential of GF, cytokines and telomerase will eventually be harnessed via technological advancement and innovation in the burgeoning fields of tissue engineering and gene therapy in the nearest future 64 …”
