Laser skin resurfacing is popular, but the appearance of the face during healing is unpleasant. Non-ablative photorejuvenation with intense pulsed light (IPL) has been reported as being successful but with varied results. In this study we sought the possibility of enhancing the clinical effects with adjunctive epidermal care. Twenty-five women aged from 32 to 68, skin types I-IV, with a variety of wrinkle types and other conditions associated with photoaged skin, were treated with IPL according to our parameters over six sessions coupled with an adjunctive pretreatment micropeel and applications of nutritive and antipigmenting creams. Macroscopic and histological assessments were performed. At weeks 4 and 8 fair to good satisfaction was noted in 17 and 19 patients, and poor satisfaction in 8 and 6 patients, respectively. The histology showed good dermal collagen remodelling in all cases, with a reduction in elastosis. The results of IPL photorejuvenation can be enhanced, as our trials showed. The good patient satisfaction obtained was clearly demonstrated in the histologies and evaluations throughout the study.
