Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the effectiveness of a nonablative 1927 nm thulium laser (MOXI™) for treating facial actinic irregularities caused by factors like aging and UV exposure, noting its benefits in resurfacing skin and reducing pigmentation issues without worsening the condition.
- It involved 27 patients (Fitzpatrick Skin Types I-IV) who received two treatments spaced a month apart, with the main goal of evaluating the laser's impact on pigment response using specialized imaging and clinical assessments.
- Results showed a positive response in pigment reduction, indicating that this laser treatment is promising for improving skin appearance in individuals with irregular pigmentation.
