is increasing evidence that P acnes can be transmitted from person to person by physical contact. Drug resistance to P acnes is increasing year on year with 65% of isolates in Leeds showing resistance to one of the antibiotics commonly used in the treatment of acne. Resistance is highest to erythromycin, cross-reacting with clindamycin, but with high levels to tetracycline. Only low levels of resistance have been identified so far to minocycline. Recent studies have demonstrated that close contacts of acne patients i.e. partners and siblings, can harbour resistant bacteria even though they themselves have not taken any antibiotics. This could have major implications for the future treatment of such patients as they may already be resistant to a specific antibiotic prior to therapy.

transparent dressings. In order to minimize skin sensitivity, we use conservative free moisturising and sun block creams. We always prepare the skin before the procedure, in order to prevent herpes and hyperpigmentation. We think that Laser Skin Resurfacing is an excellent procedure, but its post-operative side effects, and the lasting of the erythema have to be well known both by the surgeon and the patient who should sign a consent form.

Laser in dermatology - Modern applications in aesthetic dermatology using Er:YAG and Ruby laser New techniques in hair removal using an advanced third generation Ruby laser
Patricia Niidler. Kiiln, Germany The laser assisted removal of unwanted body hair has recently generated considerable interest amongst clinicians. This report shows 6 months results using a long-pulse, high-energy Ruby laser (RubyStar, AESCULAP - MEDITEC). Dark and light skin types have been treated with large spot sizes. Experiences with a new diagnostic device for determination of skin and hair absorption are described (EpiCheck, AESCULAP - MEDITBC). An advanced application method using a new contact handpiece and homogeneous beam profile on tissue provides more effective treatment at lower Ruences than previously.

We have been using the CO2 Ultrapulse Laser for skin resurfacing for two and a half year. This procedure allows a controlled dermabrasion. We make four to six passes, and use two kinds of handpiece. The technical part of this procedure is now well known, so we want to concentrate on the management of the post-operative erythema. the various skin reactions, and the way to minimize them. We have been testing different types of dressings and ointments for one year. We think that dressings are more confortable for the patient, avoid crusting, diminishes the immediate post operative redness. But also, the lasting of the total erythema is not shortened and infections occur more frequently. This is why we prefer

The VERSAPULSE C asthetic Laser (COHERENT) combines three proven Q. Switched lasers: - Q. Switched Alexandrite 755 nm - Q. Switched Nd:YAG 1064 nm - Q. Switched frequency doubled Nd:YAG 532 nm for treatment of pigmented lesions, all colors of tatoos and one vascular frequency doubled Nd:YAG 532 nm with chilled tip which cool the skin before, during and after treatment. This offers protection by cooling surface skin and epidermal melanin. The spot size is adjustable. With HELPG (high energy long pulse Green) it’s possible specific targeting of differents diameters blood vessels (small and large vessels of face or legs). Laser treatment parameters. Side effects and complications will be exposed during the session.

Laser and filtered flashlamp intense pulsed light source hair removal represent the newest and potentially most exciting aspect of cutaneous laser surgery. Our understanding of hair biology and light interaction with hair has led to continued improvement in methods of removing unwanted hair. This talk will focus on et requirements for permanent hair reduction, a discussion of hair biology and a presentation of currently available laser and filtered intense pulsed light source technology used to remove unwanted hair. The advantages of alexandrite lasers and filtered flashlamp technology will be stressed. The presentation will emphasise 1) the simplicity and speed of a 5 hz, fiberoptic alexandrite laser and 2) the diversity and clinical results when software driven filtered flashlamp intense pulsed light sources are used for hair removal.
