Treatment of Keratosis Pilaris With 810-nm Diode Laser

Treatment of keratosis pilaris with 810-nm diode laser: a randomized clinical trial.

IMPORTANCE Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a common skin disorder of follicular prominence and erythema that typically affects the proximal extremities, can be disfiguring, and is often resistant to treatment. Shorter-wavelength vascular lasers have been used to reduce the associated erythema but not the textural irregularity. OBJECTIVE To determine whether the longer-wavelength 810-nm diode laser ...

A Pilot Study of Q-switched 1064-nm Nd:YAG Laser Treatment in the Keratosis Pilaris

BACKGROUND Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a keratinization disorder that is characterized by follicular hyperkeratosis, with surrounding erythema. Topical treatments are widely used, but their effects are limited. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of the Q-switched 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser for the treatment of KP. METHODS Total of 12 patients with KP were treated with a Q-switched 1064-nm Nd:Y...

Grating Feedback in a 810 nm Broad-Area Diode Laser

Narrow linewidth, single spectral mode operation has been obtained in a high power, 810 nm broad-area diode laser in an extended cavity configuration with a grating as external reflector (grating feedback). For stable operation it was necessary to misalign the feedback slightly in the plane of the laser junction. Characteristics of the thus obtained laser system are a linewidth below 5 MHz, an ...

Nonvisible subthreshold micropulse diode laser (810 nm) treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy. A pilot study.

PURPOSE To verify the efficacy of nonvisible micropulse diode laser irradiation in the treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). METHODS Twenty-two patients with CSC for a total of 24 eyes with a disease duration longer than 3 months were included in a prospective study. Patients underwent Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study visual acuity (VA) examination, dilated ophthalmos...
