Post-acne Erythema Successfully Treated with 595-nm Picosecond-domain Neodymium:Yttrium-aluminum-garnet Laser

Atrophoderma Vermiculata Successfully Treated by 595 nm Dye Laser and Carbon Dioxide Laser

The treatment of atrophoderma vermiculatum is challenging. A 7-year-old girl had a unilateral atrophic skin lesion on her right cheek, which was diagnosed as unilateral atrophoderma vermiculata. She was treated by carbon dioxide and 595 nm pulsed dye laser and carbon dioxide laser. This resulted in prevention of the lesional progression with favorable cosmetic appearance of the skin.

Low-fluence 585 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser: a novel laser treatment for post-acne erythema.

BACKGROUND Persistent post-acne erythema is one of the most common aesthetic sequelae to arise after active acne resolves. The treatment remains challenging due to lack of effective laser modalities. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a low-fluence 585 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser for the treatment of post-acne erythema. MATERIALS & METHODS Twenty-five patients with post-acne e...

Comparison of 585 nm with 595 nm pulsed dye laser in the treatment of warts

Background and aim : The clinical management of verrucae vulgaris is often challenging and no treatment is always effective. Early studies have suggested that pulsed-dye laser (PDL) may be highly effective in the treatment of verrucae through obliteration of dilated vessels in papillary dermis. The objective of this study was to compare safety and efficacy of 585 nm with 595 nm PDL in the...

Severe acne successfully treated with etanercept.

Sir, Effective systemic treatments for severe acne vulgaris, such as oral antibiotics, oral isotretinoin and anti-androgens, are often associated with undesirable side-effects or are limited to a selected patient population. Furthermore, some patients with severe acne fail to respond to these therapies (1). Etanercept, a dimeric fusion protein linking part of the human p75 tumour necrosis facto...
