Title : 1,450nm Long-Pulsed Diode Laser for Non-ablative Skin Rejuvenation Journal : American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, Inc., 2005 Author : SeemA N. Doshi , MD, AND Tina S. Alster , MD l Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery, Washington, DC Clinical Application : In several clinical studies a 1,450nm diode laser was found to be effective at reducing wrinkles, treating active acne and improving atrophic scars. Tanzi & Alster conducted a study of 25 patients of skin types I~III with wrinkles around the eyes. The treatment using the smooth beam laser was conducted for one month (4 mm spot size, fluence of 15~20 J/cm2, pulse duration 210 ms ). The clinical and histological evaluation of the treated skin was conducted at periodic intervals. After a 12–month observation period it was found that, statistically, there was significant improvement in all treatment sites, with improvement being especially conspicuous around the eyes. (
