the skin over weakened connective tissue. 95% of women are affected by this phenomenon either during puberty or pregnancy. Although being not considered as a disease, striae can affect psychologically. In this study, we are looking at the efficiency of a new ablative fractionated bipolar radiofrequency, in terms of improvement of the global aspect of striae, not only in depth but also in width. Study: Eight patients received one treatment per month over 4 to 6 months in the areas where the striae were more prominent (abdomen, buttocks, thighs). This new device has the ability to place the heat energy within the dermis, with a minimal epidermal impact. All patients were treated with the 144 pin tip at energies varying between 30 to 36 mJ/pin, with one or two passes. Results were evaluated by clinical pictures and patient self evaluation at 1 month post last treatment. Three patients have been assessed prior and after treatment with the Antera 3D, a novel 3D camera system, capable of objectively measuring the global improvement of the depth of striae. Results: All patients have seen a visible improvement after the first or second treatment. As the study is still ongoing, the final results will be given at the meeting. Treatments were performed without any anesthesia and post operative care consisted in the application of a moisturizing cream, twice a day, for 3 days. Conclusion: The application of this new ablative fractionated bipolar radiofrequency for improvement of striae seems promising. This preliminary study performed with this device suggests a similar mechanism of action on collagen as in facial treatments for acne scar improvement and wrinkle reduction. REJUVENATION OF THE NECK WITH THE E-MATRIX FRACTIONAL RADIOFREQUENCY DEVICE Sylvie Angel, Jean-Michel Mazer, Paris, France Background: Rejuvenation of the neck is a challenge. Lasers procedures proved disappointing in their efficacy with remodelling lasers or in their safety, especially for the risk of scarring, with fractional CO2 lasers. The E-Matrix is a radiofrequency system by which fractional RF energy is delivered to the skin with low epidermal disruption and high dermal impact. Study: 20 female patients were treated for rejuvenation of the neck (age 57.00±6.94, phototype II to IV). 3 treatments were performed at 1 month interval, using a 64 electrode tip and energy levels from 40 to 44 mJ per electrode. A topical anesthesia was applied 1 hour before each session. Standardized photographs were taken before and 1 month after each treatment. The evaluation of wrinkles and elastosis was rated according to the Fitzpatrick-Goldmann classification (average of 2 investigators’s judgment). The pain level during treatment as well as the patient's and the practitioner's satisfaction were evaluated on visual analogical scales from 0 to 10. Results: The percentage of patients who gained at least one class in the Fitzpatrick-Goldmann classification was the following, 1 month after treatment 1, 2 and 3 respectively: Wrinkles: 15% (NS); 74% (p
Wounds were treated using PCRB and photoradiated or photoradiated alone. Composite dressing-treated wounds received 1cm x1cm PCRB wafers, applied by excising Tegaderm TM overlying the ulcer, placing PCRB over the wound and covering the wound with Tegaderm TM . Wounds were irradiated at 450nm (350mW, 1cm spot diameter, 15min) using a diode laser 10min after dressing placement daily (0, 1, 2, or 3 treatments). Control wounds received neither PCRB nor photoradiation. Wounds were cultured daily. Animals were euthanized on day 7 and quantitative bacterial counts (CFU/g tissue) were determined. Results: PCRB plus photoradiation resulted in statistically significant 2-3 log reduction in bacterial counts (p
