BACKGROUND Intense pulsed light has been used in the treatment of photoaging without a full understanding of its mechanism of action. OBJECTIVE To study the effect of intense pulsed light on photoaging and on the skin immune response by means of a clinical and histopathological study, evaluating Langerhans cells (CD1), expression of intercellular adhesion molecule, of CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes ...

Purpose: In this prospective study we show the influence of Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL) on tear osmolarity, an increasingly important metric of dry eye disease. Previous studies have measured the effectiveness IPL has had on other metrics including tear break up time (TBUT), lipid layer grade (LLG), tear evaporation rate (TER), tear meniscus height (TMH), and subjective responses from pa...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We have recently shown that repeated low fluence photoepilation (LFP) with intense pulsed light (IPL) leads to effective hair removal, which is fully reversible. Contrary to permanent hair removal treatments, LFP does not induce severe damage to the hair follicle. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the impact of LFP on the structure and the physiology o...
