Combination 532-nm and 1064-nm Lasers for Noninvasive Skin Rejuvenation and Toning

Abstract: Background: Noninvasive techniques for skin rejuvenation are quickly becoming standard in the treatment of mild rhytids and overall skin toning. Multiple laser wavelengths and modalities have been used with varying degrees of success, including 532-nm, 585-nm, 1064nm, 1320-nm, 1450-nm, and 1540-nm wavelengths. Objectives: To evaluate a combination technique using a long-pulsed, 532-nm potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser and a long-pulsed 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser, separately and combined, for noninvasive pho… Show more

“…In contrast to the present study, patients in earlier studies with the LP Nd:YAG laser [11,12] received multiple treatments at short intervals to improve skin quality. In a 50-patient study [11], Lee and colleagues reported 10-30% improvement in skin tone/tightening after 3-6 treatments with the 1064-nm laser alone.…”

“…In a 50-patient study [11], Lee and colleagues reported 10-30% improvement in skin tone/tightening after 3-6 treatments with the 1064-nm laser alone. These authors administered treatment in ''brush strokes'' and single-pass patterns with surface cooling and a handpiece set at 30-to 65-milliseconds pulse widths and 24-to 30-J/cm 2 fluence.…”

“…However, even when optimized for treating large facial zones, these lasers are much slower than IPLs. In Lee's report on the use of the KTP laser for photorejuvenation, the small spot size limited the coverage rate to about 1/4 of that of the Gemini KTP lasers used in this present study [3]. It follows that their practical use has been limited to treating small cosmetic areas such as the cheek.…”

“…Some authors report evidence of new collagen formation as detected by the evaluation of regular H&E stain or orcein stain after non-ablative resurfacing [11][12][13][14]. After consultation with several independent dermatopathologists, we are hesitant to draw this conclusion from the evaluation of the collagen alignment in the H&E stained tissue sections alone.…”
