摘要

This edition of the Journal places a strong emphasis on energy-based technologies in both humans and animal models. In the initial study, A1-Dhalim looks at varying IPL cutoff filters and their impact on IPL treatment of striae. In the next study, Zhong investigates not only IPL, but also Q-switched laser non-ablative treatment in the rat model. In the third of this series of IPL-related studies, Emerson asks whether IPL treatment leads to either selective pho-tothermolysis or non-specific skin necrosis in the treatment of unwanted pigment.
