The male scalp undergoes extensive photodamage due to a high prevalence of androgenic alopecia and exposure to ultraviolet radiation. This photodamage presents as solar lentigines, fine rhytides, and keratosis, and can prematurely age a patient. In this study, we demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the fractionated 1,927 nm thulium fiber laser using high density and high energy settings to achieve rejuvenation of the male scalp after a single treatment session.
Four male patients with Fitzpatrick skin types II-III and extensive photodamage on the scalp underwent one treatment with the fractional non-ablative 1,927 nm thulium fiber laser.
The patients had a 60-90% improvement in dyspigmentation, lentigines, and keratosis. No adverse events were observed and the patients tolerated the procedure well.
This case series is the first report in the literature demonstrating the successful rejuvenation of the scalp using the 1,927 nm thulium fiber laser. Lasers Surg. Med. 49:475-479, 2017. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
由于雄激素性脱发的高患病率以及紫外线辐射暴露,男性头皮会遭受广泛的光损伤。这种光损伤表现为日光性雀斑、细纹和角化病,并会使患者过早衰老。在本研究中,我们展示了使用高密度和高能量设置的1927纳米掺铥光纤激光进行分次治疗,在单次治疗后实现男性头皮年轻化的安全性和有效性。
4名 Fitzpatrick皮肤分型为II - III型且头皮有广泛光损伤的男性患者接受了一次非剥脱性1927纳米掺铥光纤激光分次治疗。
患者的色素沉着、雀斑和角化病改善了60 - 90%。未观察到不良事件,患者对该治疗耐受良好。
该病例系列是文献中首次报道使用1927纳米掺铥光纤激光成功实现头皮年轻化。《激光外科与医学》49:475 - 479, 2017。© 2017威利期刊公司。
