Nonablative laser treatment of wrinkles: meeting the objective? Assessment by 25 dermatologists
1Department of Dermatology, University of Graz, Auenbruggerplatz 8, A-8036 Graz, Austria. daisy.kopera@uni-graz.at
Background:
Established skin resurfacing methods causing superficial wounds and extended recovery times have become less popular since the introduction of nonablative lasers.
Objectives:
To evaluate the clinical efficacy of a nonablative 1450-nm diode laser system.
Methods:
Nine patients (Fitzpatrick skin type II-IV) with periorbital wrinkling class I-II were treated three times at 3-weekly intervals with a 1450-nm diode laser. Clinical outcome was determined by 25 independent dermatologists evaluating standardized photographs taken before treatment and 1 month after treatment.
Results:
The patients were satisfied with the procedure, and reported a mild to moderate improvement in all cases. Among 25 dermatologists, only two provided ratings which were significantly in favour of a positive treatment effect.
Conclusions:
Nonablative laser treatment subjectively satisfies patients but does not convince objective judgement.
