Nonsurgical Facial Rejuvenation and Skin Resurfacing Flashcards
prolonged erythema, and hyp opigmentation are indirectly related to depth of injury and target tissue specificity
F. prolonged erythema, and hyp opigmentation are directly related to depth of injury and target tissue specificity
Pretreatment with tretinoin or hydroquinone in not recommended before chemical peeling T. Or F
F. Pretreatment with tretinoin or hydroquinone is recommended prior to chemical resurfacing, for even depth of penetration and a reduction in associated morbidity.
Fractionated lasers are designed to keep the stratum corneum largely intact while ablating a variable amount of dermis
T
What the hallmarks of aged skin
Irregularities in surface texture, pigmentation, and wrinkling are hallmarks of aged skin
The reticular dermis, primarily composed of type lll collagen, accounts for the majority of skin thickness
F. The reticular dermis, primarily composed of type I collagen, accounts for the majority of skin thickness
adnexal structures are found in higher concentration in the papillary dermis.
T
Elimination of these pigmented (lentigen)lesions requires targeted destruction of melanocytes in the basal layer of epiderm
T
Wood lamp can help distinguish melasma from other more superficial skin pigmented lesions.
T
Additionally, dermal chemical peels, IPL, and nonablative and ablative laser treatments may improve and fully eliminate melasma.
Additionally, dermal chemical peels, IPL, and nonablative and ablative laser treatments may improve but not fully eliminate melasma.
treatment of skin wrinkles requires ablative therapy of the DEJ into the papillary dermis.
T
Areas prone to scar include the neck and mandibular border
T because they have thinner underlying derms and fewer adenxial stracture
Topical tretinoin 0.05% to 0.1 % is used in conjunction with HQ 4% cream to restore even epidermal thickness and improve solar elastosis. 6 week before chemical peeling
T
Why we use tretinoin as pre treatment before chemicals peeling?
to ensure even depth of treatment penetration and faster postprocedure healing.15
Tretinion usage
It is the only therapy proven to repair photodamage with benefits persisting even after discontinuation ofuse
There is a risk of tinnitus at higher concentrations with glycolic acid T or F
F. With salicylic acid
most commonly used superficial peeling agent is ?
Jassner Solution
Trichloroacetic Acid reach a variety of depth
T
Benefit of tretinoin
are effective for reversing actinic sun damage,
reducing fine lines, improving skin texture, and
increasing collagen synthesis ,suppresses melanocyte
Erythema may persist for several months while collagen remodeling proceeds with TCA
T
The most common serious side effect if phenol peeling is hypopigmentation
F. Arrhythmai
Histological studies have demonstrated permanent reduction in dermal thickness following dermabrasion, which is distinct from the compensatory dermal thickening that occurs following chemical peels and coagulative lasers
T
Chromophore is either water or haemoglupin or melanin
T
Epidermal damage is most likely with visible light (green-yellow, IPL) treatments targeting dermal hair follicles and blood vessels.
T
Nonablative resurfacing spares epidermal destruction, targeting deeper structures within the dermis
