Resumen

Objectives: To outline the efficacy and safety in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) controlled pulsed system in skin rejuvenation To present objective evidence for reduction in skin dyschromias To illustrate improvement in skin texture Introduction: Intense pulsed light systems are regularly used for the treatment of skin dyschromias and textural imperfections To date, all IPL devices are controlled manually by the operator and are commonly associated with untoward effects, especially in darker phototypes. We present an Intelligent-control (AI) pulsed light system technology which incorporates a Skin Positioning System, with real-time, 3D spatial data on the handpiece’s position and orientation. Hence, it is possible to perform treatments safely, avoiding any pulse stacking and preventing skip areas and striping on the skin. Materials / method: A retrospective series of fifteen patients, Fitzpatrick skin types I-V, who had been treated for various skin dyschromias including rosacea, pigmentation, generalised discolouration and uneven skin texture, were analysed. The patients had undergone a course of five monthly treatments and were assessed by 3D photography and subsurface illumination to evaluate their progress. Results: All patients obtained positive results with visible improvement in skin texture as well as a reduction in erythema and pigmentation. No treatment associated adverse events were seen Conclusion: The Artificial Intelligence controlled pulsed light system was shown be safe and effective in the treatment of skin imperfections, in all Fitzpatrick skin types I-V. The use Artificial Intelligence heralds a new era in Aesthetic Medicine.
