American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery 2019 Late Breaking Abstracts

The document summarizes research from the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery 2019 conference, highlighting various laser treatments' effectiveness. One study showed that 25 subjects experienced increased gluteal muscle volume after High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic treatments. Another study found that ink applied before microneedling penetrated the deepest tissue layers. A device using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and deep learning demonstrated high accuracy in diagnosing skin cancer. Treatment of infraorbital dark circles with a picosecond alexandrite laser in Asians and a dermal micro-coring device for facial wrinkles both reported significant improvements. Non-invasive devices and microbiopsy punches showed notable enhancements in facial skin parameters post-laser treatment. A study of 36 females with Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause reported improvements in vaginal health and sexual function after hybrid fractional laser treatments. Vaginal CO₂ laser was effective for 33 women with stress urinary incontinence. A 650 microsecond pulsed Nd:YAG 1064 nm laser was satisfactory for skin rejuvenation in the female external genital organs area in 25 subjects. Two patients with scarring alopecia showed increased hair follicle count after Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy. Over 100 patients treated with a 1565 nm fractional non-ablative laser for various types of alopecia experienced full or partial hair growth restoration within 2-3 months, without adverse effects.
