Luz intensa pulsada: conceptos y usos actuales.
Resumen
Los equipos de Luz Intensa Pulsada (IPL por sus siglas en inglés) representan en la actualidad una herramienta esencial en el arsenal terapéutico del dermatólogo. Las características físicas de la luz que emiten permiten su aplicación para el tratamiento efectivo no solo de alteraciones estéticas sino de diversas patologías frecuentes en la consulta dermatológica.
Los usos terapéuticos más frecuentes de esta tecnología incluyen el tratamiento de lesiones vasculares, lesiones pigmentadas, fotodepilación, rosácea, acné, fotoenvejecimiento, cicatrices, estrías; también se utiliza como fuente de luz en tratamientos con terapia fotodinámica (TFD). Más aún, existen algunos reportes de su uso en poroqueratosis, quistes pilonidales y queratosis seborreicas, entre otros. En esta revisión conoceremos las características físicas de la luz emitida por estos equipos, sus efectos en la piel, los principios básicos de su uso, las patologías en las que puede utilizarse, los protocolos generales de tratamiento, y se darán recomendaciones actuales para el uso óptimo y seguro de esta tecnología con base en las publicaciones actuales y en la experiencia de la autora.
Summary
Intense light pulsed: concepts and current uses
Nowadays, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) devices represent an essential therapeutic tool for dermatologists. The physical properties of this light allow its use not just for esthetic purposes, but also for an effective treatment of several dermatological conditions. Clinical uses of this technology include treatment of vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, photodepilation, rosacea, acne, photoaging, scars, striae. Also, it is used as light source in photodynamic therapy, as well as in other pathologies like porokeratosis, pilonidal cysts, and seborrheic keratosis, and others. This review will show the physical characteristics of the light emitted by these devices, the effects on the skin, the fundamentals of its use, indications, general protocols, and will provide recommendations for the optimal and safe use of this technology based on updated scientific publications, and the autor’s experience.
Key words: Intense Pulsed Light; IPL; photorejuvenation; photodepilation; photodynamic.
