AB  - BACKGROUND: Helium plasma dermal resurfacing (HPDR) is an emerging off-label use 
      for an existing FDA-approved device. OBJECTIVES: Retrospective evaluation of 
      patient satisfaction and adverse events (AEs) following facial skin resurfacing 
      with HPDR technology. METHODS: Single-site, retrospective review of 301 patient 
      charts following HPDR treatment of the face. Patient satisfaction data were 
      collected during review of medical records. AE data were analyzed to determine 
      the effects of demographic, procedural, and posttreatment variables on the 
      presence or absence of AEs. RESULTS: HPDR was performed concurrently with other 
      facial/non-facial surgical procedures in 193 of 301 patients (64.1%) including 
      over undermined facial skin in 58 patients (19.3%) during rhytidectomy. No 
      serious AEs were observed. Nonserious AEs were noted, however, in 20 patients 
      (7.3%) and included erythema/prolonged erythema, hyperpigmentation, milia, slow 
      healing, and upper lip hypertrophic scar. Among the 288 patients returning for 
      follow-up (mean 2 months postprocedure), satisfaction with HPDR treatment results 
      was documented in 275 patients (95.5%); the remaining 13 patients' charts did not 
      reference satisfaction or dissatisfaction, and no AEs were recorded for this 
      patient subgroup. CONCLUSIONS: This retrospective study supports the use and 
      safety of HPDR technology for facial skin rejuvenation; no serious AEs and 
      relatively few nonserious AEs were observed following either sole modality HPDR 
      or HPDR with concurrent treatment of undermined skin tissue during rhytidectomy 
      procedures. Patient satisfaction and observed results are comparable to 
      full-field laser skin resurfacing treatments.
