Feasibility and Safety of Using Combined Light-Emitting Diodes Versus Intense Pulsed Light Technology for the Improvement of Facial Hypervascularization in Adult Patients.

Superficial facial vascular lesions can be an aesthetic problem and a symptom of different skin diseases. It was to compare the efficacy and safety profiles of Dermalux Tri-Wave MD, based on three combined light-emitting diodes (LEDs) technology and intense pulsed light (IPL) for reducing the excess of facial vascularization due to superficial cutaneous vascular lesions. The study had a single-center, proof-of-concept, open-label, and prospective design.

Visible and Quantifiable Improvement in Skin Roughness and Texture Using a High Power Non-ablative 1540-nm Fractional Erbium: Glass Laser.

Background: Non-ablative fractional laser treatments for improving skin tone and rejuvenation have become increasingly popular due to short downtime and fewer side effects compared to ablative treatments.

Objective: We sought to determine the efficacy of a non-ablative 1540-nm fractional erbium: glass laser in improving skin roughness and skin texture.

Methods: The forehead, cheek, and nasal areas of 15 patients were treated for five monthly sessions using a 7x7 pixel tip (1.

Cyclic changes of the functional ovarian compartments: echographic assessment.

Using bidimensional echography, 25 normal ovulatory cycles were evaluated. The following parameters were assessed: 1) ovarian volume, 2) volume of the dominant follicle, 3) corpus luteum volume, 4) residual follicular volume, and 5) stromal volume. Ovarian volume and dominant follicle volumes reached their maximum on day -1: 11.

[Echography of the ovarian cycle].

Using bidimensional echography 30 normal ovulatory cycles were evaluated. The following parameters were assessed: Ovarian volume; Volume of the dominant follicle; Corpus luteum volume; Residual follicular volume and Stromal volume. The maximum ovarian volume was reached in the dominant ovary the last day before ovulation: 11.
