A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial Evaluating the Single and Combined Efficacy of Radiofrequency and Hybrid Fractional Laser for Nonsurgical Aesthetic Genital Procedures in Post-Menopausal Women.

Background: The efficacy of interventions that provide long-term relief of genitourinary symptoms of menopause has not been determined.

Objectives: The authors sought to evaluate radiofrequency and hybrid fractional laser (HFL) treatments for menopausal vulvovaginal symptoms.

Methods: Thirty-one postmenopausal women completed all treatments and at least 1 follow-up.

A Correlation of the Glogau Scale With VISIA-CR Complexion Analysis Measurements in Assessing Facial Photoaging for Clinical Research.

Background: Historically, standard evaluations for photoaging have involved subjective analysis; recently, however, investigators have turned to noninvasive systems for more objective evaluation of facial aging.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to establish a clinical correlation between the Glogau Photoaging Scale and the VISIA-CR Complexion Analysis System (Canfield Imaging Systems, Fairfield, NJ), and thereby reduce intra- and interobserver variability when assessing photodamage.

Methods: In total, 117 subjects aged between 18 and 89 years were included.
