There are few publications on the treatment options for facial pore size reduction. A focused therapy is needed.
To evaluate the efficacy of selective photodynamic therapy (PDT) using an optic fiber for the size reduction of large facial pores.
A series of five patients (skin phototypes IV-V) with large facial pores received two successive weekly treatments with an 810-nm diode laser using a fine optic fiber after indocyanine green (ICG) was applied selectively to enlarged pores. Patients were evaluated using digital photography at each treatment session, and at 3 months post-operation. Clinical assessment scores were determined at each treatment session and follow-up visit. Patient satisfaction surveys were obtained at the end of the study.
All five participants who completed the 3-month follow-up gave a subjective assessment of reduction of facial pore size. Modest to excellent improvement was achieved.
This study demonstrates that treatment with pin-point PDT using an optic fiber is a well-tolerated and effective regimen for the reduction of facial pore size.
关于面部毛孔缩小治疗方案的出版物很少。需要一种针对性的治疗方法。
评估使用光纤的选择性光动力疗法（PDT）对面部大毛孔缩小的疗效。
对一系列五名（皮肤光型为IV - V型）面部毛孔粗大的患者，在将吲哚菁绿（ICG）选择性地应用于扩大的毛孔后，使用细光纤每周连续两次接受810纳米二极管激光治疗。在每次治疗时以及术后3个月使用数码摄影对患者进行评估。在每次治疗和随访时确定临床评估分数。在研究结束时获得患者满意度调查结果。
所有完成3个月随访的五名参与者对面部毛孔大小的缩小给出了主观评估。实现了从适度到极佳的改善。
本研究表明，使用光纤进行点状PDT治疗是一种耐受性良好且有效的面部毛孔缩小治疗方案。
