Ablative Fractional Laser Enhances Artificial or Natural Daylight Photodynamic Therapy of Actinic Field Cancerization: A Randomized and Investigator-initiated Half-side Comparative Study
Acta Derm Venereol. 2023 Aug 16;103:adv6579. doi: 10.2340/actadv.v103.6579.ABSTRACTArtificial daylight photodynamic therapy is a near-painless treatment for actinic keratoses, which can be performed indoors using a controlled light dose. Daylight photodynamic therapy is approved only for treatment of grade I-II actinic keratoses. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether fractional laser pre-treatment improves the outcomes of daylight photodynamic therapy for actinic keratoses of all grades. In addition, the study compared the outcomes of artificial and natural daylight photodynamic therapy. This randomized single-blin...

Cosmetic Treatments with Energy-Based Devices in Skin of Color
This article reviews various modalities that have shown positive outcomes in Fitzpatrick skin types 4 to 6.Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening devices have emerged as a noninvasive method for improving skin laxity by stimulating collagen and elastin production without generating excessive heat, making them suitable for darker skin tones. Microfocused ultrasound (MFUS) is another noninvasive option for skin tightening and lifting. By producing thermal coagulation in the deeper layers of the skin, MFUS stimulates collagen production, resulting in improved skin tightness. Fractional laser resurfacing, both ablative and nonabl...
