Summary
Pulsed light therapy is effective for various skin issues, anti-aging, and post-surgical scars. When selecting a device, prioritize features like large spot size, adaptable adaptors, high pulse rates, and diverse cutoff filters for optimal treatment across skin types.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Aesthetic Medicine
- Phototherapy
Background:
- Pulsed light (PL) technology offers versatile applications in dermatology.
- Its efficacy is established for treating skin conditions, skin aging, and surgical scars.
- PL serves as a valuable adjunct in cosmetic surgical practices.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the benefits and versatility of pulsed light in aesthetic dermatology.
- To provide essential criteria for selecting an effective pulsed light device.
- To guide practitioners in optimizing pulsed light treatments for diverse skin concerns and types.
Main Methods:
- Review of pulsed light applications in skin rejuvenation and scar treatment.
- Identification of key technical specifications for optimal pulsed light device performance.
- Analysis of wavelength-specific filters for targeted dermatological treatments.
Main Results:

01:12Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells
2.9K
The skin is divided into epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the skin's outermost, middle, and inner layers. The human epidermal layer regularly undergoes renewal, where old, dead cells are replaced by new cells. Epidermal stem cells or EpiSCs divide and differentiate to restore the lost cells. For the renewal process, some EpiSCs continuously self-renew. In contrast, few others differentiate into transit-amplifying cells, which later form prickle or spinous cells, followed by granular...

01:30Skin Cancer
5.6K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.

01:14Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.

01:23Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells
2.0K
After cellular or tissue damage, the resident stem cells present in the human body can locally repair and regenerate the damaged tissue or organ. However, even though some tissues do not have stem cells, they can repair and regenerate with the help of pre-existing cells. For example, beta cells of the pancreas and hepatocytes of the liver can divide to renew and regenerate the tissue. Here, both cell division and cell death are well regulated by homeostasis.

01:23Role of Skin in Vitamin D Synthesis
7.4K
The skin plays a crucial role in the synthesis of vitamin D, a vital nutrient for various physiological processes in the body. Vitamin D is unique because it can be synthesized in the skin through a series of chemical reactions triggered by exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from sunlight.
The solar UV B rays (290-315 nm) are absorbed by the skin, and 7-dehydrocholesterol (provitamin D3) photolyzes it to previtamin D3, which undergoes a rapid transformation to vitamin...

01:33Whole Body Regeneration
4.0K
Regeneration is the process of restoring injured or lost tissues, organs, or body parts. While simpler organisms generally show greater ability to regenerate their whole body, few complex animals show similarly exceptional regeneration. For example, planarian flatworms have a unique regenerative potential making them a popular study organism among biologists to understand the mechanisms of whole body regeneration. Other organisms, such as hydra, also show extreme regeneration potential;...
