RF-pulsed light with ELOS technology devices have recently been used to treat acne vulgaris in selected patients.
To investigate the safety and efficacy of a combination of two kinds of device with ELOS technology for the treatment of acne.
Ten patients with moderate acne were treated twice weekly for 4 weeks with the Aurora AC (Syneron Medical Ltd, Yokneam, Israel), a combination of pulsed light and RF energy. Immediately after Aurora AC treatment, all patients were treated weekly only on one facial half with the Matrix IR (Syneron Medical Ltd), a combination of fractional diode laser and RF energy. Photographic documentations were obtained at baseline, before each treatment session, and 1 and 3 months after the final treatment.
At 3 months after treatment, the mean lesion count was reduced by 38% (p<0.05) after eight treatments with the Aurora AC alone. With additional treatment with the Matrix IR, the mean lesion count was reduced by 61%.
The combination of Aurora AC and Matrix IR was superior in reducing the acne lesion count, and in extending the length of the remission period.
采用ELOS技术设备的射频脉冲光最近已用于特定患者寻常痤疮的治疗。
研究两种具有ELOS技术的设备联合治疗痤疮的安全性和有效性。
10例中度痤疮患者每周接受两次Aurora AC（以色列约克尼姆Syneron Medical Ltd公司）治疗，共治疗4周，该设备是脉冲光和射频能量的组合。Aurora AC治疗后，所有患者仅在一侧面部每周接受一次Matrix IR（Syneron Medical Ltd公司）治疗，该设备是分数二极管激光和射频能量的组合。在基线、每次治疗前以及最后一次治疗后1个月和3个月获取照片记录。
治疗3个月后，仅使用Aurora AC治疗8次后，平均皮损计数降低了38%（p<0.05）。使用Matrix IR进行额外治疗后，平均皮损计数降低了61%。
Aurora AC和Matrix IR联合使用在减少痤疮皮损计数以及延长缓解期长度方面更具优势。
