研究目的
To assess and compare the efficacy and tolerability of TL and PDT, alone and in combination, to improve photodamaged skin on the décolleté in a side‐by‐side RCT.
研究成果
The 1,927 nm fractional thulium laser is an effective, tolerable, and safe field‐directed treatment for décolleté photodamage. TL monotherapy was as effective as combined TL‐PDT for overall photodamage, while a greater improvement in skin texture was achieved using TL and PDT in combination.
研究不足
The study's limitations include a small patient population, female‐only study population, and the need for multiple treatments to observe more distinctive differences between interventions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A randomized, controlled, and intra‐individual trial comparing TL, PDT, combination TL‐PDT, and lesion‐directed curettage control.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Twelve female patients with moderate to severe skin photodamage on the décolleté.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
1,927 nm fractional thulium laser (LaseMD, Lutronic), methyl aminolevulinate creme (Metvix 16%; Galderma), red light‐emitting diode light (Aktilite CL 128; Galderma), optical coherence tomography (Vivosight RX; Michelson Diagnostics Ltd.).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Participants received one treatment session at baseline and were clinically evaluated on day 5–7 for local skin responses, and at 12 weeks for photodamage improvement, cosmesis, and safety.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Non‐parametric Friedman and Wilcoxon signed‐rank tests.
