Clinical effects of the black peel protocol using the 1320 nm nd: yag laser

Skin rejuvenation is a common procedure in current clinical practice. Various technologies are employed for these therapeutic purposes, with some types of lasers being beneficial due to their safety and low risk of complications. The 1320 nm wavelength is strongly absorbed by water molecules, which produce considerable heating in the skin, contributing to skin rejuvenation. Furthermore, activated charcoal masks can be combined to enhance the desired results. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the black peel procedure on skin rejuvenation, which uses an activated charcoal mask capable of absorbing energy and triggering potential tissue changes. A patient was selected who presented tissue characteristics with the presence of fine and deep wrinkles, enlarged pores, and acne scars. For the evaluation, a comparison of photographs taken before and immediately after the procedure was used, and a 3D camera was used to assess wrinkles and enlarged pores. The results demonstrated that the technique improved skin appearance, particularly in terms of wrinkle reduction and a significant reduction in pore size, with just one application. No adverse events were recorded, and the patient reported comfort and satisfaction with the protocol employed. In conclusion, the non-ablative high-power laser technology, using a wavelength of 1320 nm and the black peel protocol, is safe and provides effective results with just one application.
