Carbon-assisted Q-switched Nd: YAG laser and Microneedling Delivery of Botulinum Toxin: a prospective pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Carbon-assisted Q-switched Nd:Yag laser treatment consists in applying a topical carbon suspension all over the face followed by irradiation with a Q-switched 1064 Nd:YAG laser. The delivery of multiple microdroplets of dilute Onabotulinum Toxin-A into the dermis, has been investigated as a tool for facial rejuvenation. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the combined treatment with botulinum toxin and carbon peel laser (performed with a standardized technique) in patients with seborrhea, dilated pores and wrinkles, and to demonstrate its benefits in improving the overall skin aspect.

Material and methods

Patients enrolled in this prospective pilot study were subjected to 3 sessions of the combined treatment carried out 3 months apart. To eva
