4. The appropriate technique depends on the treatment area and size of depigmentation.
he treatment of vitiligo has improved during the last decade, therapy is still not satisfying for many patients. This is probably due to the fact that the aetiopathogenesis is unknown. Several treatment modalities, such as PUVA, UVB and local corticosteroids are currently used in the treatment of active vitiligo. However, these treatments usually induce incomplete repigmentation. Surgical methods intended to repigment leucoderma are an interesting therapeutic option if patients have stable disease. Two types of surgical techniques are available: tissue grafts and cellular grafts, with in between autologous cultured epithelial grafts. Tissue grafts are full-thickness punch grafts, split-thickness grafts and suction blister grafts. With tissue grafts, only a limited surface area can be treated but with good results in the majority of cases. Cellular grafts include non-cultured keratinocytes/melanocytes and cultured melanocytes. The exact success rate of repigmentation with cellular grafts is still unknown, since only a small number of studies have been published. Starting from autologous cellular suspensions, epithelial grafts of various compositions can be cultured in vitro. They can be used for larger areas
The document summarizes several surgical techniques for managing vitiligo, including minigrafting, split thickness skin grafting, suction blister grafting, and flip-top pigmentation transplantation. Minigrafting involves taking thin auto skin punch grafts from normal skin and grafting them individually into recipient vitiligo sites. Split thickness skin grafting uses thin split thickness grafts harvested continuously and transplanted as sheets. Suction blister grafting uses suction to raise and harvest pigmented epidermis from blisters to graft onto vitiligo areas. Flip-top transplantation places a thin graft between a raised epidermal flap and dermis at the recipient site.

Scar Revision in oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryPunam Nagargoje
A scar can be defined as a fault or blemish resulting from some former condition, wound, sore or burn. Scar formation is an inevitable consequence of wound healing in which the normal skin is replaced by a fibrous tissue.
• Mechanism
– Trauma
– Surgical
• Location & orientation
– Cosmesis
– Function.
Ideal Scar
• Flat
• Narrow
• Good color match
• Parallel to or within skin crease, folds and RSTLs
The ideal scar is level with the surrounding tissues, has a favorable color match, is narrow, parallel to or lying within a RSTL, and sinuous without long straight unbroken lines. Not all scars are able to be improved by revision techniques and those that are already optimal may be made much worse if a poorly thought out attempt at revision is undertaken. Patients should be carefully counseled to assure that their expectations are realistic – if they expect the scar to be completely gone - I.e invisible – they need education or they are likely to be displeased
Strategies
• Prevention
– Incision planning
• Relaxed skin tension lines
• Facial subunits
– Careful surgical technique
Postop Wound care
• Steroid injection
• Antitension taping
• Excision
– Irregularization
– Reorientation
• Camouflage
– Cosmetics
– Dermabrasion
Timing
• Traditionally 6 to 12 months
• Perhaps earlier for those perpendicular to tension lines
• Dermabrasion 6 to 9 weeks
– High fibroblast activity
The timing of scar revision has traditionally been after the scar has had a period of maturation of 6 to 12 months.
This allows time for scar maturation and better defines what needs to be accomplished in the revision.
Many would argue that scars lying outside RSTLs and especially those perpendicular to RSTLs are likely to have a poor cosmetic outcome and early revision and reorientation can be considered.
Dermabrasion is frequently performed at 6-9 weeks post injury utilizing the high fibroblastic activity in the wound at that time to aid in favorable wound healing.
Wound Healing
• Inflammatory phase – hours
• Proliferative phase – days
• Remodeling phase – months

Timing of Scar Revision
Generally, every scar will show improvement without revision for up to 1 – 3 years
Traditionally we wait 6 to 12 months

This document discusses wound assessment and treatment. It describes the three phases of normal wound healing and factors that can impair healing such as pressure and decreased blood flow. Pressure ulcers are defined as wounds caused by unrelieved pressure. Assessment involves examining the wound history, type, stage, drainage, and surrounding skin. Treatment aims to promote healing and involves cleaning, dressing, and physical therapy modalities like ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and compression therapy to accelerate healing.
This document discusses various surgical techniques for treating vitiligo, including autologous grafting techniques like mini punch grafting and split thickness grafts. It focuses on autologous non-cultured melanocyte keratinocyte transplantation (NCES), describing the procedure and outcomes. It also discusses autologous cultured melanocyte transplantation and hair follicle grafting techniques. Emerging techniques like the Jodhpur technique combining dermabrasion and cell suspension application are introduced.
A wound is a break in the skin or tissue caused by injury. Wound healing is the body's process of restoring injured tissue. It involves three phases - inflammatory, proliferative, and remodeling. In the inflammatory phase, blood vessels constrict then dilate to deliver immune cells and fibrin to the wound. In the proliferative phase, new tissue such as collagen is produced by fibroblasts. In remodeling, collagen matures and wound strength increases over months. Wounds heal through primary, secondary, or tertiary intention depending on wound management and tissue loss.
The document discusses principles of wound management in the emergency department. It covers evaluating wounds by examining the patient's history and the wound characteristics. Proper preparation is emphasized, including ensuring hemostasis, removing foreign bodies, irrigating and debriding the wound, and providing prophylactic antibiotics when needed. Careful preparation helps restore tissue integrity and function while minimizing infection risk.

It then discusses skin infections like impetigo, erysipelas, cellulitis, and infections of hair follicles. Pressure ulcers and their staging system are also covered. The document concludes by describing life-threatening skin infections such as streptococcal gangrene, clostridial myonecrosis, and necrotising fasciitis. Conservative and surgical management approaches are discussed throughout.
This document discusses post-burn scars and scar contractures. It begins by outlining the healing process for different burn depths and how this leads to scarring. Scarring can be minimized but not eliminated through various physical therapy measures and plastic surgery. As scars mature, compression garments and silicone sheets can be used to further improve scarring. Steroid injections may help reduce hypertrophic scarring in some cases as well. The goal of treatment is to help scars mature into flat, flexible tissues with normal pigmentation.
Skin grafts and skin flaps are surgical procedures used to repair skin defects and promote wound healing. In a skin graft, healthy skin is removed from a donor site and transplanted to a recipient site, but does not maintain its original blood supply. A skin flap retains part or all of its original blood supply after being moved from a donor to recipient site. Common donor sites include the thigh, arm, and buttocks. Skin grafts and flaps are used to treat burns, wounds, and reconstructive procedures. Care of the graft and donor site is needed to promote healing.
Skin grafting and skin flaps are surgical procedures used to repair skin defects and promote wound healing. In skin grafting, healthy skin is removed from a donor site and transplanted to the recipient site, but does not maintain its original blood supply. Skin flaps involve moving a piece of skin with an intact blood supply from a donor site to the recipient site. There are several types of grafts and flaps classified by thickness, species, or how they obtain their blood supply. Care of the graft/flap and donor site is important for proper healing. Complications can include infection, necrosis, or loss of the graft/flap if blood supply is compromised.
Cryosurgery Dr Manasa Shettisara JanneyManasa Janney
Cryosurgery is a safe, inexpensive, and simple procedure that uses extreme cold to destroy diseased tissue without the need for anesthesia. It has several advantages including short preparation time, sutureless healing, and good cosmetic results. Liquid nitrogen is commonly used as the cryogen to rapidly freeze tissue through mechanisms like intracellular ice formation and vascular damage, resulting in ischemic necrosis. Factors like freezing rate and thaw time influence tissue destruction. Cryosurgery is used to treat various skin conditions like warts, actinic keratosis, and basal cell carcinoma. Potential complications include pain, blistering, wound infection, and pigmentary changes.
This document discusses various topical antifungal drugs used to treat fungal infections. It begins by explaining how antifungal drugs target differences between mammalian and fungal cells. It then categorizes antifungals and provides details on several classes: azoles like ketoconazole and miconazole which inhibit ergosterol synthesis; allylamines/benzylamines like terbinafine and butenafine which inhibit squalene epoxidase; polyenes like nystatin and amphotericin B which bind to ergosterol in fungal cell membranes; and morpholines like amorolfine which inhibit two stages of ergosterol synthesis.
This document summarizes the structure, diagnosis, and testing of HIV and AIDS. It describes key events in the isolation and identification of HIV, including the discovery of HIV-1 and HIV-2. It outlines the structure and genome of HIV, its replication cycle, and the various tests used to diagnose infection and monitor disease progression, including ELISA, viral load testing, CD4 counts, drug resistance testing, and more.
The document discusses the various cellular components found in the dermis. It describes the dermis as containing fibroblasts, histiocytes, mast cells, plasma cells, and dermal dendrocytes. It provides details on the structure, function, and characteristics of each cell type, and discusses their roles in conditions like tissue repair, immune responses, and certain skin diseases.
Ustekinumab is a human monoclonal antibody that inhibits the p40 subunit of interleukin 12 and 23, thus inhibiting the differentiation of T cells into Th1 and Th17 cells and reducing inflammatory cytokines. It is approved for treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Rituximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody against CD20 that causes depletion of mature B cells. It is used off-label for various autoimmune blistering disorders. Belimumab inhibits BLyS, which plays a key role in B cell development, and is approved for treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus.

The document summarizes the histology of skin. It describes the three main layers of the skin - epidermis, dermis and subcutis. The epidermis is composed of keratinocytes and contains melanocytes and Langerhans cells. It has multiple layers with different functions. The dermis lies below the epidermis and contains blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles and glands. The subcutis is the deepest layer composed of loose connective tissue and fat. There are regional variations in the thickness and components of the different skin layers.
Antiviral agents work by inhibiting viral replication rather than destroying viruses. There are specific antivirals for different viruses. This document categorizes and describes various antiviral agents for herpesviruses, influenza, retroviruses, and others. It provides details on acyclovir, valacyclovir, famciclovir, and penciclovir which are commonly used to treat herpes simplex virus and varicella zoster virus infections. It discusses their mechanisms of action, therapeutic uses, effects, dosages, and adverse effects.
Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous units that generally manifests during adolescence with lesions such as comedones, papules, pustules, nodules and cysts. The key factors involved in its pathogenesis include increased sebum production due to hormonal factors, sebaceous gland hyperplasia and seborrhea, altered keratinization within the hair follicle, and colonization of the follicle by the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes which triggers inflammation. Together, these factors can lead to the formation of microcomedones, the precursors to further inflammatory lesions.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

9. Procedure
• Extraction of a comedone open or closed, from the
pilosebaceous unit by using comedone extractor.
Open comedones -Firm pressure perpendicular to the direction
of the comedone is exerted against the facial bones creating
circumferential pressure in the follicle extruding follicular
content through hole in the convex cup of the extractor.
Closed comedones -top of lesion is nicked with a 26 G needle
or tip of no. 11 scalpel blade. The extractor is then maneuvered
as for open comedones.
10. Disadvantages
• Recurrence is common
Open comedones- 24-40 days
Closed comedones- 30-50 days
• Overzealous use results in increased inflammatory
response
12. Indications:
- nodulocystic acne
- hypertrophic / keloidal acne scars.
Agent:
Most commonly triamcinolone acetonide
Initially in a concentration of 10mg/ml
The injection is repeated every 3 weeks depending upon the
clinical response.
• Keloidal scars: A concentration of 40mg/ml may have to be used.
• Nodulocystic acne: 2.5mg/ml is admininstered with 26 G needle
13. Procedure:
• 1-2ml suspension of inj triamcinolone acetonide is
prepared[2.5mg-5mg/ml] by diluting with distilled water for
injection.
• Skin surface overlying the cyst, surgically prepared with
cetavlon, spirit and povidone iodine
• Skin overlying cyst is stabilised with left hand.
• 26G needle attached to syringe, skin overlying the cyst is
pierced at the most non dependant point.
14. • Needle is advanced till it meets resistance which on further
pressure suddenly yields a feeling of give way, indicating one
has entered the cyst cavity.
• Quantity :0.025-0.1 ml should be injected into cyst.
• Needle is slowly withdrawn.
• Equal or lesser quantity can be injected in tissue surrounding the
cyst(4 quadrants),below the cyst for faster resolution.
15. • Tense cyst: prior aspiration of cyst contents till it collapses
partially or fully with 21G needle.
• Pressure at entry point for haemostasis and closure.
• Multiple lesions can be injected at same time.
• Injection repeated every 15-20 days interval till cyst resolves.
Complications :
• Haematoma
• Secondary infection
• Atrophy- Placement too superficial or too deep may cause
17. INCISION AND DRAINAGE
• Pustules, nodules and abscesses: may be surgically incised and
drained.
• Skin overlying the follicular opening is incised with either a fine
needle tip or tip of no.11 scalpel blade
• Each lesion is drained by pinching or squeezing it. No dressing
is needed.
• Apply antibiotic cream.
• Judicious incision and drainage initiate healing, shorten the
duration of lesions.
19. • Useful in all stages and morphological types of acne, viz.
papules, cysts, nodules and comedones to minimise scar
formation.
• Negative pressure is applied onto the skin overlying the lesions
with the help of medium to large conical glass cups fitted at end
of suction tube.
• Large cup: for applying suction to multiple contiguous lesions
simultaneously.
• Closed comedones: surface is punctured before suction is
applied.
20. • End point- has to be judged clinically by elevation of the lesions
within the suction cup.
• Procedure: started on the forehead & continued linearly in a
sequential manner over rt cheek, chin,lft cheek etc
• At end: contents are brought out near follicular opening, followed
by incision and drainage of the contents.
• Pressure is given for adequate hemostasis ,to prevent refilling of
larger cysts and nodules.
21. • Cleansing: facial skin surface is wiped with dry gauze.
• pt is asked to wash face with soap and water.
• Ice compress: given to reduce oedema, and for early
resolution of inflammation.
22. CRYOSURGERY
Indications:
• Nodular and cystic lesions
• Hypertrophic scar
• Keloidal scars
• Extensive scarring
Three techniques are in general use-
• Cryoslush
• Cryopeel
• Cryoprobe
23. CRYOSLUSH
Cryogen: solid CO2 (dry ice)
(-78.5 C)
• Method : CO2 snow as refrigerant along with acetone, with or
without precipitated sulphur or alcohol to cause superficial
peeling with:
--desquamation of comedones,
--resolution of papules, pustules and nodulocystic acne with
avoidance or improvement in superficial acne scars
25. CRYOPROBE
• Indications - nodulocystic acne.
• CRYOPROBES using nitrous oxide,LN2 or CO2 used to
freeze the nodulocystic acne for 3-5secs individually without
treating the whole face.
• Larger lesions: process can be repeated at 2 or more sites.
• Schedule: repeated every 2 wks till resolution occurs.
26. CRYOPEEL
CRYOGEN - LN2 (-196 degree C)
Indication
• Severe nodulocystic acne
• Chronic/resistant acne
• Acne keloidalis nuchae
• Post acne scars.
27. • Depending on the time of contact
1.Superficial peel- 2-3secs
2.Medium depth- 5-7secs
• LN2 hand held spraying unit or
• Table top unit with special acne spray tip attachement
28. DERMABRASION
• DEFINITION
• Consist of sequential planing of the raised or otherwise
normal skin, from epidermis, through the papillary dermis, to
the desired level [max junction of upper and mid reticular
dermis] with either manual or electrical abraders, allowing
this wound to heal by secondary intention, to achieve
levelling effect, making cutaneous scars less conspicuous.
• Procedure carried out under GA,LA or RA.
29. • Preferably done – when acne is in good control
• Superficial depressed scars.
• Deep acne scars- improves more by wire brush dermabrasion as
microlacerations of wire brush can resurface deeply
30. Contraindications
• Keloidal tendency,
• Atrophic hairless scars of burns and trauma
• Bleeding disorder
• Active infections
• History of taking isotretinoin[12-18months]
Patient Selection
• Fairer the patient, better is the result
• Patient with realistic expectations
31. • EQUIPMENT:
• 1) MECHANICAL-
a) sand papers (water paper no 80,110)
b) hand held metallic dermabraders
MANEKSHA’S MANUAL DERMABRADERS
35. • CBC, BT, CT, PT, platelet count, blood sugar level
• X ray chest pa view
• Fitness for GA
• Screening for hepatitis B,VDRL,HIV
• Informed consent and photos
• Test spot dermabrasion at postauricular site
• Close shave or removal excess hair just before operation.
• Injection vitamin K[1ml/10mg] 1 day before surgery.
PREOPERATIVE WORKUP
36. • Removal of skin pigment[epidermis]
• Multiple tiny punctate bleeding points [Superficial papillary
dermis]
• Larger, rapidly bleeding points ( junctn of mid to deep papillary
dermis)
Assessing depth of dermabrasion
37. • Faintly visible pinkish or whitish to greyish parallel lines and
ridges[junction of deep papillary to upper reticular dermis]
• Excessive bleeding with fraying or appearance of breaks in
parallel lines and ridges with a feeling of resistance-optimal level
and adequate depth of dermabrasion [ junction of upper and mid
reticular dermis)
• Herniation of tiny yellow bits of fat( lower reticular dermis
ruptured at places)- not a good sign , stop dermabrading at this
level.
38. Procedure:
• Protective gear:cap, mask, gown, gloves and face shield.
• Marking of submandibular margin: Just beneath and parallel
to the inferior border of the mandibular ramus from infra
auricular area to centre of chin on both sides.
• GA with endotracheal tube
• Surgical preparation with marking of individual scars with
marker pen.
39. Technique:
• Face turned to one side, skin is stretched to provide a flat and
taut surface for planing.
• Using wire brush or diamond fraise endpiece , hold the hand
piece in safety razor grip.
• Direction of pull should be towards handle of hand piece i.e.
perpendicular to the axis of direction of rotating end piece.
40.
41. • First establish the submandibular border, by smooth strokes
along the marked line from either ear to the chin.
• Individual pitted scars are moderately stretched. Using pear
shaped diamond fraise end piece, gently rotate the hand piece
clockwise in small circles to lightly abrade the base of the scar
and firmly abrade its edges.
• Smoothen out all the marked scars individually in a similar
fashion.
44. Postoperative management:
• Iv fluids-1-2 bottles 5% dextrose, started intraoperatively
1st-1-2 hours,2nd over 12hrs post operatively.
• patient is admitted for 4-7 days and discharged when
oozing stops
Dressings
• Face is covered with double layer of framycetin tulle and
left with no further dressing.
• Serum is allowed to ooze.
46. Medications:
• Antibiotics,analgesics,short course of tapering steroids.1v -1st day.
Oral-from 2nd day.
• Inj.Vit k (1ml)continued from a day before surgery, followed by on the
day and the next day after dermabrasion (total of 3 consecutive days).
• Crusted serous discharge and gauze fall by 10-15 days.
• Emollients and sunscreens- for next 3 months
• Patient remains indoor for 1 month and avoids direct sun exposure-
next 2-3 months
49. MICRODERMABRASION
• Is a resurfacing technique consisting of mechanical abrasion of
skin with pressurised stream of Al2O3 crystals so as to achieve
superficial wounding.
• PARTICLE BEAM RESURFACING: tool,useful in management
of epidermal abnormalities.[clogged pores,comedonal acne,mild
acne scarring]
• Mechanism: double system of aspiration-compression within
flexible tube,connecting machine and the hand piece.
• Aluminium oxide crystals fired from the system against the skin
through nozzel with programmed pressure,resulting in multiple
foci of microtrauma in epidermis.
50. • Used microcrystals, reabsorbed through aspiration
system to a waste container.
• Depth of injury: extends through epidermis.
• Healing: 3-5days
• Schedule: repeat sittings 1-2 wks interval for 6 sittings.
• Advantages: anaesthesia not needed.
• Complication:transient erythema,mild post inflammatory
hyperpigmentation.
51. LIGHT BASED THERAPY
• Feature of P. acnes is the endogenous production and
accumulation of porphyrins, with coproporphyrin III thought
to be the major subtype.
• These endogenous porphyrins absorb visible light
induces the formation of singlet oxygen species and
other reactive free radicals
bacterial destruction
52. BLUE LIGHT
• P. acnes colonies are reliably destroyed when exposed to
blue light in vitro due to the strong absorption and
photoactivation of endogenous porphyrins at this wavelength
(420-nm).
• However, blue light only superficially penetrates human skin
due to a high degree of light scattering, which may limit its
therapeutic effect.
• Despite this disadvantage, blue light has been demonstrated
to be effective in improving acne.
53. • Tzung et al. investigated a 420-nm light in a randomized
split-face trial.
• The blue light was administered twice weekly at a dose of
40 J/cm2 for 4 weeks.
• Significant improvement in acne noted.
54. RED LIGHT
• Though red light is less effective in activating porphyrins than blue
light, red light is able to penetrate skin to greater depths and activate
porphyrins in the sebaceous follicle.
• Red light may also induce anti-inflammatory effects via influencing
cytokine release from tissue macrophages .
• Zane et al reported the effectiveness of a 600- to 750-nm red light
administered twice weekly at a fixed dose of 20 J/cm2 in 15 patients
with moderate facial acne.
• At the end of the 4-week treatment period there was a significant
reduction in the acne which was sustained at a 3-month follow-up visit.
• The treatments were well tolerated with no significant adverse events.
55. Intense Pulsed Light
• Pulsed light sources are capable of delivering significantly more
photons at peak power than a continuous wave source, which may
enhance any therapeutic effect.
• Chang et al. investigated an intense pulsed light (IPL) source with a
530- to 750-nm filter in 30 Korean women with mild–moderate acne.
• All patients treated three IPL treatments, 3 weeks apart using fluences
of 8.0 J/cm2 for skin type III and 7.5 J/cm2 for skin type IV and a pulse
duration of 2.5 ms and a double light pulse with a 10-ms interval.
• Three weeks after the final IPL treatment, all patients had experienced
an improvement in acne lesions.
56. 532-nm KTP Laser
• The 532-nm potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser targets the
chromophores oxyhemoglobin and melanin.
• Its mechanism of action in acne is presumably via activation of
porphyrins.
• However, the KTP laser may also cause mild collateral thermal
injury of sebaceous glands and
• may modify the sebaceous gland vasculature.
• fluences of 7–9 J/cm2, a spot size of 4 mm, and a pulse duration
of 20 ms.
57. Pulsed Dye Laser
• The pulsed dye laser (PDL) is also presumed to work through
endogenous porphyrin photoactivation.
• Also altering sebaceous gland microvasculature, that cause mild
collateral thermal injury to sebaceous glands, and possibly anti-
inflammatory actions.
• PDL has been investigated in acne using low-fluence.
• 585-nm PDL with a spot diameter of 5 mm and a pulse duration
350 μs, and were randomly allocated to receive 1.5 J/cm2.
• Twelve weeks after a single treatment there was a significant
improvement
58. 1,450-nm Diode Laser & 1,320-nm Nd:YAG Laser
• Damage to the duct epithelium and sebocytes of sebaceous
glands and seems to have efficacy in treating acne.
• Diode laser- fluence of 14 J/ cm2 (6-mm spot size and
dynamic cooling at 40 ms) or
• 16 J/cm2 (6-mm spot size and dynamic cooling at 45 ms)
59. 1,540-nm Erbium:Glass Laser
• Infrared laser that produces a wavelength that is
rather deeply penetrating; hence, it is able to target
sebaceous glands and the surrounding dermis.
• A potential advantage is that it seems to cause
comparatively little discomfort in contrast to the
other infrared lasers
• Active lesions should b treated with four treatments at 2-week intervals
using a 4-mm spot size, 3.3-ms pulse duration, 10 J/ cm2 , 4 passes.
• and the remaining face was treated with a single pass at 10 J/cm2.
60. PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY
• It involves activation of a photosensitizing agent by light to
produce O2 intermediates that destroy target tissue.
• PDT is more effective than lights alone - as use of exogenous
photosensitisers maximizes singlet oxygen production and results in
more effective P. acnes photodestruction compared with treatments
that solely rely on light absorption by endogenous porphyrins.
• The rationale is based on the knowledge that aminolevulinic acid
(ALA) is preferentially taken up by the pilosebaceous units and
metabolized in the heme synthesis pathway to produce
protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), a potent photosensitizer.
• Once activated by light, PpIX produces singlet oxygen and free
radicals that cause damage to the mitochondria and cell membranes.
• ALA-PDT offers a unique way of improving acne by selectively
damaging the pilosebaceous units and killing P. acnes.
61. • ALA-PDT can be done with many light sources.
• ALA is applied on the areas to be treated as a 20% cream. The light
sources can be: red-light from a diode laser (635 nm), pulse excimer
dye laser (634 nm), or a broadband halogen source (600-700 nm).
• Noncoherent light sources have a number of advantages over
coherent light, including larger illumination fields, lower cost, and
possible photoactivation of photoproducts, which may result in
additional PDT effects
• Blue light PDT does not seem to be significantly better than blue light
alone, which is probably due to the shallow depth of penetration of
light at these wavelengths
62. Photosensitizer
• ALA and m-ALA are commercially available at concentrations of
20% and 16%, respectively.
• Both agents are generally used with 3–4 h of contact time before
light exposure previously; however,now there has been great
interest in shorter contact times of 15–90 min.
• which may result in milder adverse events.
• ALA and m-ALA, have absorbance and photoactivation at
wavelengths in the 650- to 850-nm range.
• This allows longer wavelengths with deeper penetration
