Background: Intradermal injection of CPM-HA20G, a low-viscoelasticity hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler with glycerol, has been shown to be effective for facial rejuvenation in Caucasians, but research in Asians is limited.

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of CPM-HA20G in enhancing facial skin quality in Korean women using a protocol developed by local aesthetic experts.

Patients/methods: In this 24-week prospective, single-arm, open-label study, 20 women received CPM-HA20G injections in the immediate subdermal layer on the anterior cheek (1 mL per side; total 2 mL) in three sessions every 4 weeks.

Article Synopsis
  • High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and radiofrequency (RF) are both non-invasive treatments for skin rejuvenation, but their combined effectiveness had not been previously studied.
  • In a trial with 22 Korean adults, one side of the face received HIFU treatment alone while the other side received a combination of HIFU and bipolar RF, allowing for a direct comparison of results.
  • The study found that while HIFU alone improved various skin parameters, combining it with bipolar RF provided even better results in terms of reducing pore size, enhancing skin elasticity, and decreasing the depth of eye wrinkles.

Facial pore enlargement is one of the most common concerns among Asian individuals that adversely impacts perceived skin surface evenness and affects overall skin quality. One of the major causes of enlarged pores is facial skin laxity.

Broadband light treatment using static operation and constant motion techniques for skin tightening in Asian patients.

J Cosmet Laser Ther

October 2019

c Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Biology Research Center, International St. Mary's Hospital , Catholic Kwandong University College of Medicine, Incheon , Korea.

Background: Broadband light (BBL) devices irradiate photons of different wavelength to induce photothermal reactions on various aging-related chromophores.

Objectives: To evaluate three BBL treatment settings for skin tightening in Asian patients.

Methods: A total of 27 patients underwent three sessions of BBL treatment via (1) an 800-nm cutoff filter using a static operation technique and a 695-nm cutoff filter using a constant motion technique (group 1, N = 9), (2) an 800-nm cutoff filter using a constant motion technique (group 2, N = 9), and (3) a 590-nm cutoff filter using a constant motion technique (group 3, N = 9).

*Department of Dermatology, Gangnam Severance Hospital, Cutaneous Biology Research Institute, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea; †Yonsei-Modern Skin Clinic, Seoul, Korea; ‡Human Dermatology Clinic, Korea Dermatology Research Institute, Seongnam-si, Korea.

Background: There is no gold standard for the treatment of benign melanocytic nevi for cosmetic purposes.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of combined treatment with the short-pulsed erbium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) and long-pulsed alexandrite laser for acquired melanocytic nevi (AMN) and small congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN).

Methods: Fifty-eight AMN and 7 small CMN in 24 Korean patients were treated with Er:YAG laser followed by long-pulsed alexandrite laser at 1-month intervals.
