Filter by:The purpose of this pivotal investigation is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Cutera enlighten multi-wavelength 532 nm and 1064 nm picosecond pulse duration laser and an investigational micro-lens array (MLA) handpiece attachment for improvement of moderate to severe acne scars.
Open-label, Prospective, Study to Evaluate the Cutera excel V laser at 532 nm in a low fluence, high repetition rate mode and the Micro-Lens Array attachment used with excel V laser at 1064 nm and 532 nm for the improvement of skin quality.
Atrophic acne scars are a common and important sequelae of acne that affect up to 43-55% of patients with acne. Scarring impacts quality of life with reports of diminished self-esteem and frustration/sadness; additionally, some individuals report that their appearance even interferes with their professional lives. Though many treatments for acne scarring exist including ablative and nonablative lasers, subcision, and peels, none is without risk of adverse effects of pain, post-procedure redness or pigmentary changes. There have been no randomized studies directly comparing the effectiveness and safety profiles of microneedling (Dermapen) to 1,540nm nonablative fractional lasers (Palomar StarLux) in the treatment of atrophic acne scarring in skin of color. This clinical trial aims to determine which treatment modality -- microneedling or nonablative fractional laser -- is safer and more efficacious in the treatment of acne scarring in patients with skin of color.
The aim of the study is to analyze the esthetic outcome of the first surgical repair of cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients. The aim of the study is to identify differences in the aesthetic evaluation of full-face and nasolabial region 3-D images of CLP patients following primary lip repair by laypeople.
The primary objective of this randomized, split-face, controlled study is to compare the efficacy and safety of a erbium-doped 1,550-nm non-ablative fractional laser and a bipolar fractional radiofrequency microneedle device for the treatment of atrophic facial acne scars in ethnic skin (Fitzpatrick Skin Phototypes III-VI). The hypothesis of this study is that both erbium-doped 1,550-nm non-ablative fractional laser and the bipolar fractional radiofrequency microneedle device are equally effective for the treatment of atrophic acne scars in ethnic skin (SPT III-VI). However, the bipolar fractional radiofrequency microneedle device has less adverse effects than erbium-doped 1,550-nm non-ablative fractional laser due to the absence of scattering and the absence of chromophore-specific targets - predominantly melanin - traditionally needed with laser treatments; hence the fractional radiofrequency microneedle device will have a higher safety profile in darker skin types .
The purpose of the trial is to provide objective evidence the SkinStylus may be used safely and effectively for the treatment of ventral torso hypertrophic scars.
Quasi-Experimental Study: Unfiltered Nanofat Injected into Postburn Facial Scars Number of Patients: 48 Outcome Assessed on POSAS And with Imaje J Scanning Preop And Postop Statistical Comparison of Scar Done
This study will serve as a pilot study to determine the efficacy and safety of topical gabapentin in the treatment of symptomatic scarring alopecia.
This is a prospective, randomized pilot study of patients who will undergo either early or late incisional laser therapy after breast reduction surgery to alleviate scar burden at NYU Langone Medical Center. The purpose of this study is to see how well carbon dioxide (CO2) laser therapy works at preventing scar formation after surgery.CO2 laser therapy is currently being used by dermatologists and plastic surgeons to help with scarring after acne and to rejuvenate the face; its benefits are now being explored by medical professionals in dermatology and cosmetic surgery to prevent scarring after surgery.
Rhinoplasty is among the most accomplished aesthetic procedures in Plastic Surgery. The mastery of Alar Base modifications is essential for superior aesthetic results. The main indication is to reduce nasal width when it exceeds the intercanthal distance in Caucasian women. Other indications are the modification of the shape of the nostrils or to reduce alar flare in noses with too convex alar base. Since Wier's first description, a series of techniques has been developed with a common goal of making the basal view of the nose close to an equilateral triangle. The location and amount of tissue to be removed will be according to the preoperative or intraoperative indication due to changes in the alar base resulting from reductions in the projection of the nasal tip. One of the controversies in the literature is in the position of the incision in alar base modifications. Some authors prioritize incisions that do not violate the alar facial groove , since the groove region presents a greater number of sebaceous glands, leading to poor scarring results. Other authors have argued that incisions above the sulcus have caused more evident scars, anda that poor healing results would be more associated with aggressive resections of border and bad closing skin techniques. Due to divergence in the literature, the present study aims to compare, through a double blinded randomized clinical trial, two techniques of alar base modifications that will differentiate only by violating or not the alar facial groove.
