Motta,Marcos Matias; Stelini,Rafael Fantelli; Calderoni,Davi Reis; Gilioli,Rovilson; Damiani,Gislaine Vieira; César,Carlos Lenz; Kharmandayan,PauloABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate the effect of fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser treatment using lower power associated with pulse stacking within collagen fibers, using second harmonic generation microscopy and computerized image analysis. Methods Twenty male Wistar rats aging eight weeks were used. Each treatment area received a single-pass CO2 fractional laser with different parameters. The 20 animals were d...
Comparative clinical evaluation of breast augmentation using silicone foam coat...
Calaes,Ivana Leme de; Motta,Marcos Matias; Basso,Rafael de Campos; Calderoni,Davi Reis; Kharmandayan,PauloAbstract Purpose To evaluate whether silicone foam implants have a different evolution pattern compared to conventional texture implants. Methods Fifty-eight female patients underwent surgery. They were divided into two groups (silicone foam – Lifesil® – and microtexturized silicone – Lifesil®). The evolution was analyzed in postoperative consultations, with physical examination, photographic documentation and ...
Lower energy and pulse stacking. A safer alternative for skin tightening using ...
Motta,Marcos Matias; Stelini,Rafael Fantelli; Calderoni,Davi Reis; Gilioli,Rovilson; Kharmandayan,PauloPURPOSE : To evaluate the effect of different energies and stacking in skin shrinkage. METHODS : Three decreasing settings of a fractional CO2 laser were applied to the abdomen of Twenty five Wistar rats divided into three groups. Group I (n=5) was histologically evaluated for microthermal zones dimensions. Groups II and III (n=10 each) were macroscopic evaluated with freeware ImageJ for area contraction immedi...
