Research Hot Spots and Trends of Photoelectric Therapy in Facial Rejuvenation: A 20-Year Bibliometric Analysis Based on Web of Science.
Review in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIn recent years, facial rejuvenation treatments have increasingly leaned toward minimally invasive and noninvasive methods. Photoelectric therapy has gained widespread popularity as a noninvasive treatment for facial rejuvenation. This study aims to construct a visual map of photoelectric therapy for facial rejuvenation through bibliometric analysis, systematically analyzing current research hotpots and future prospects in the field.
methodsPublications related to photoelectric therapy for facial rejuvenation from the Web of Science Core Collection database were extracted for the years 2004-2023. The obtained data were analyzed using VOSviewer software and the R package (Bibliometrix).
resultsThis bibliometric analysis extracted 1139 documents from the Web of Science Core Collection database spanning 2004-2023 on photoelectric therapy for facial rejuvenation. Annual publication rates increased steadily before 2014 and showed fluctuations thereafter. The USA leads in both publication and citation counts. "Lasers in Surgery and Medicine" had the highest publication output, while "Dermatologic Surgery" had the highest citation or co-citation frequency. Goldman MP and Dover JS were identified as the most prolific and co-cited authors, respectively. The University of California San Diego ranked highest in publication output, with Anderson's team at Harvard University demonstrating the broadest publication influence. The top 5 keywords by frequency were "laser," "skin," "skin rejuvenation," "efficiency," and "rejuvenation." Analysis of research trends highlighted "safety," "efficiency," and "prevention" as prominent topics over the past decade, underscoring current research interests in photoelectric therapy.
conclusionsOur research indicates that a focus on safety, efficacy, personalized experiences, and the combined application of various anti-aging techniques represents the current and future development trends and research directions in photoelectric therapy for facial rejuvenation.
