THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EPIDEMIOLOGICAL AND CLINICAL FEATURES WITH THE EFFICACY OF FRACTIONAL 1064NM Nd:YAG PICOSECOND LASER IN SKIN REJUVENATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Skin aging is a natural process that occurs as the body ages. This is a complex biological process, influenced by a combination of endogenous factors (genes, cell metabolism, hormones) and exogenous factors (UV, chemical exposure, stress...). In Vietnam, picosecond lasers are increasingly used in skin rejuvenation. However, no studies have been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this laser. Materials and Methods: This is a longitudinal case series study. A fractional 1064 nm Picosecond laser was used. Subject satisfaction was assessed at the end of the treatment course. VISIA Skin Analysis was performed at each visit. Results: There was no correlation between age, gender, duration of sunlight exposure, mask wearing behavior, sunscreen use, classification of skin aging with the improvement according to the patient's subjective assessment. In terms of correlation between epidemiological and clinical features with outcomes evaluated by VISIA, patients who were exposed to the sun for more than 60 minutes had lower therapeutic efficacy for UV spots, patients who did not or occasionally wore masks got worse results for spots, compared to those of other groups. Conclusion: Fractional 1064 nm Picosecond laser is safe and effective for Vietnamese in skin rejuvenation.
