Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the photothermal effects of a subdermal high-power diode laser at a wavelength (λ) of 1470nm in the skin of rats. Twenty male Wistar rats were used, divided into 2 groups: placebo laser (PL) and active laser (AL). A high-power diode laser equipment was applied to 5 subdermal vectors on the animal's back region. The results demonstrated that active laser animals showed a better arrangement of collagen fiber bands, an increase in the thickness of the dermis and the number of vessels. Furthermore, animals treated with active laser showed an increased immunoexpression of TGF-β and VEGF compared to the placebo. The present work demonstrated that the subdermal high-power diode laser increases the vascularization and the expression of factors that enhance skin regeneration and may be promising resource in the esthetic and dermatology clinical treatment of skin rejuvenation.
