Title: A retrospective study on the clinical efficacy of the intense pulsed light source for photodamage and skin rejuvenation
Abstract: The objective of this retrospective review is to investigate the long-term effect of skin rejuvenation by the intense pulsed light (IPL) source for the treatment of photoaging.From 5300 clinical cases that our department has treated with the IPL, the first 2534 were chosen for this study. Each patient received a minimum of 3 IPL treatments during this time-many were yearly treatments. Clinical photographs were taken on a yearly basis for up to 12 years and sent to a blinded independent panel to study the effects of continuous IPL treatments.Results showed that the effective rate for the IPL was between 88.24% and 96.45%.IPL therapy is an effective treatment for photoaging and can truly have an effect on reversing the signs of photodamage on skin.
