Abstract
Lip augmentation (LA) procedures can cause complications such as edema, erythema, and pain. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) has been indicated as a promissory alternative therapy. We evaluated different PBMT protocols on the management of its complications. Sixty-one patients post-LA were divided into four groups: control; PBMT λ660 nm; PBMT λ808 nm; and PBMT λ660 and 808 nm simultaneously. A higher analgesia was observed in the PBMT λ660 nm group. Upper-lip edema only decreased in the PBMT λ808 nm. Erythema increased in the control, whereas the PBMT groups had smaller score variations. PBMT emitting 660 or 808 nm was efficient for the treatment of edema and erythema post-LA.
期刊介绍:
A unique journal that focuses on the application of cosmetic laser and light therapies on the skin. The Journal of Cosmetic & Laser Therapy provides a forum for stimulating and up-to-date studies demonstrating the wide range of therapeutic options for clinicians and surgeons involved in cosmetic and dermatological treatment.
The journal is aimed at dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons, plastic and facial plastic surgeons, oculoplastic surgeons and all those interested in the rapidly expanding field of cosmetic and laser therapy.
Features include:
-Cosmetic surgery, including facial rejuvenation, hair removal and skin resurfacing
-Use of lasers and other light sources for cosmetic and dermatological treatment
-Applications of peeling agents, fillers, injectables, implants and other cosmetic modalities
-Topical treatments
-Practical tips and safety issues
