INTRODUCTION


Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a high-intensity light source that stimulates dermal collagen changes through photochemical reactions, selectively treating skin conditions such as telangiectasia, pigmentation, wrinkles, and acne. IPL therapy is precise and safe; however, due to its thermal and biological effects, many patients experience post-treatment skin barrier damage, including burning, pain, tightness, and itching. Rapid skin repair immediately after IPL treatment minimizes post-treatment damage and maximizes therapeutic benefits. The core ingredients of the test medical wound dressing, sodium hyaluronate, and menthone glycerin acetal, maintain tissue hydration, promote wound healing, and rapidly restore the skin barrier. This study investigates the efficacy of the medical wound dressing with hyaluronic acid in patients immediately after IPL treatment.
