Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A new nonablative laser device, Smoothbeam, has been under evaluation for nonablative wrinkle reduction in skin with minimal side effects. This device incorporates a laser at 1450-nm wavelength to heat the dermis and cryogen spray cooling to prevent epidermal damage. The thermal injury created is internal and imperceptible. The wound-healing response to this internal injury causes improvement in the appearance of skin wrinkles. Biopsies taken immediately after treatment showed mild residual thermal damage (RTD) at a depth range of 150 to 400 μm, which is the dermal zone where most solar elastosis resides. Biopsies from two months after treatment showed fibroplasia extending over a range of depths similar to the acute RTD zones. An improvement in wrinkle severity was noted on the treated side compared with the control side. © 2003 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
