Noninvasive interventions such as monopolar capacitively coupled radiofrequency (MRF) have gained popularity, offering a safer and more convenient alternative to traditional surgical face lift. The latest MRF device features larger tips, vibration, cooling, and impedance matching.

Article Synopsis
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a specialized treatment used in photorejuvenation, which involves using filtered light to improve skin conditions and appearance.
- A study was conducted to evaluate different IPL device settings, including various filters and pulse durations, to determine the most effective and safe outcomes for patients.
- Results showed that higher fluence and fewer pulse counts led to better clinical improvements over four weeks, with specific considerations for skin type and potential risks like hypopigmentation and hair loss, emphasizing the importance of careful parameter selection.
Background And Objectives: Picosecond lasers in dermatology were originally focused on optimizing the removal of unwanted tattoos. Subsequent advances in this technology have expanded its clinical indications to include treatment of benign pigmented lesions, photodamage, melasma, and scar revision. In this retrospective review, we evaluate a novel 730 nm picosecond titanium sapphire laser in treating benign pigmented lesions.
