Background: Unwanted hair growth is a common aesthetic problem. Intense pulsed light hair removal has emerged as a leading treatment option for long-term depilation. Material and methods: Patients with phototypes I to III (n = 800) were subjected to 4 regular sessions (n=3200) of intense pulsed light, with 2 months follow-up at the end of treatment. Two devices (Silk'n, and Rejuvene) were analyzed about adverse effects and satisfaction. Observation and results: This study of 3.200 ILP sessions did not show any serious side effects and the number of side effects was minimal (8.75% to 10.5%). Patient satisfaction was over 90%. Both devices provided a similar and signicant reduction in hair density. Conclusions: Both tested sources proved its safety and efcacy for hair removal. Patient satisfaction scores were in agreement with the treatment efcacy. The incidence of side effects has no difference between devices. Axillary bromhidrosis was an unexpected side effect.

Facial Acne

Background. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been used for acne, with various combinations of photosensitizers and light sources.Objective. We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of indocyanine green (ICG) and intense pulsed light (IPL) in the treatment of acne.Materials and Methods. A total of 1,213 patients with facial acne were retrospectively reviewed. Patients received three or five treatments of ICG and IPL at two-week intervals. Clinical response to treatment was assessed by comparing pre- and posttreatment clinical photographs and patient satisfaction scores.Results. Marked to excellent improvement was noted in 483 of 1,213 (39.8%) patients, while minimal to moderate improvement was achieved in the remaining 730 (60.2%) patients. Patient satisfaction scores revealed that 197 (16.3%) of 1,213 patients were highly satisfied, 887 (73.1%) were somewhat satisfied, and 129 (10.6%) were unsatisfied. There were no significant side effects.Conclusion. These results suggest that PDT with ICG and IPL can be effectively and safely used in the treatment of acne.

Neonates And Infants

Eleven open multicentre studies were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of tioconazole cream 1% as a treatment for diaper rash with or without fungal ( Candida) involvement, or impetigo in neonates and infants. In the dermal candidiasis/diaper rash group, 320 patients had either tioconazole ( n = 220), a comparative imidazole ( n = 43), or vehicle cream ( n = 57) applied to the affected area twice daily. Twenty-one impetigo patients had only tioconazole cream 1% applied three times daily to lesions. The overall cure rate (patients with both clinical and mycological cure) at the end of treatment for tioconazole treated patients was 78%, for the comparative imidazole group it was 76% and for vehicle cream it was 39%. At the long-term follow-up evaluation approximately 6 weeks after treatment for patients with diaper rash, the overall cure rate was about the same in both tioconazole- and comparative imidazole-treated patients (87% and 90%, respectively), and 14% in patients using vehicle cream. Side-effects were coincident with disease symptoms and consisted primarily of erythema localized to the treatment area; they occurred in 5.4% (13/241) of the patients who received tioconazole and in 21% (9/43) of the patients who received comparative imidazole (econazole or miconazole). No side-effects were reported in this open study for the 57 patients who used vehicle cream. The results of these studies show that tioconazole cream 1% is safe and effective for the treatment of neonates and infants with dermal candidiasis, diaper rash and impetigo.
