To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a specific treatment protocol using a new and improved non-ablative fractional high-power 1064-nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser for face and neck rejuvenation.
Sixteen women, aged 30 to 60 years old, were selected to undergo three consecutive treatment sessions with this new laser at maximum energy (2,400 mJ/pulse, Clear Lift laser®-Harmony XL-Pro, Alma Lasers Ltd.). Face and neck were treated in eight patients, respectively. Each treatment used the same protocol. The efficacy was evaluated by the therapist (TS), the patient (PS), and two separate independent experts who were blind to the study (E1 and E2).
According to E1 and E2, the mean reduction in signs of skin aging on a Global Esthetic Improvement Scale was 30-40%. Using a 0-10 points scale, TS and PS mean (range) satisfaction rates were 9.0 (8-10); 9.2 (6-10) for the face and 8.7 (8-10); 8.0 (3-10), for the neck, respectively. The procedure was practically painless, no significant adverse effects were observed, and the patients returned to their daily and work activities without downtime.
This laser was safe and effective for face and neck minimally invasive rejuvenation, with excellent results using our usual routine use conditions.
评估一种新的改良非剥脱性、高分能 1064nm Q 开关 Nd:YAG 激光对面颈部年轻化的安全性和疗效。
选择 16 名年龄在 30-60 岁的女性，接受三次连续的最大能量（2400mJ/脉冲）治疗，使用新的激光（Clear Lift laser®-Harmony XL-Pro，Alma Lasers Ltd.）。8 例患者分别进行面颈部治疗。每次治疗均采用相同的方案。疗效由治疗师（TS）、患者（PS）和两位独立的、对研究不知情的专家（E1 和 E2）进行评估。
根据 E1 和 E2，皮肤老化迹象的总美观改善量表评分平均降低 30-40%。使用 0-10 分评分，TS 和 PS 的平均（范围）满意度评分分别为 9.0（8-10）；9.2（6-10）（面）和 8.7（8-10）；8.0（3-10）（颈）。该过程几乎无痛，未观察到明显的不良反应，患者无需停工即可恢复日常和工作活动。
该激光对面颈部微创年轻化是安全有效的，在我们常规使用条件下效果极佳。
