Treatment of melasma by low-fluence 1064 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser.
BACKGROUND Low-fluence 1064 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser has recently been shown to be effective for the melasma treatment. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of low-fluence 1064 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser treatment of melasma in Asian patients. METHODS Fifty patients with melasma underwent 15 weeks of weekly treatments, using a Q-switched Nd:Y...
متن کاملIntense Pulsed Light and Low-Fluence Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser Treatment in Melasma Patients
BACKGROUND Recently, low fluence collimated Q-switched (QS) Nd:YAG laser has drawn attention for the treatment of melasma. However, it needs a lot of treatment sessions for the substantial results and repetitive laser exposures may end up with unwanted depigmentation. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the clinical effects and safety of the combinational treatment, using intense pulsed light (IPL) and lo...
متن کاملCombined ultrapulse CO2 laser and Q-switched alexandrite laser compared with Q-switched alexandrite laser alone for refractory melasma: split-face design.
BACKGROUND : Melasma is common and can cause major psychological impact. To date, the mainstay of treatment, including various hypopigmenting agents and chemical peels, is ineffective and can cause adverse effects. Laser is a new approach and is yet to be explored for its efficacy and safety. OBJECTIVE : To compare combined Ultrapulse CO2 laser and Q-switched alexandrite laser (QSAL) with QSA...
متن کاملTreatment of Melasma with the Photoacoustic Twin Pulse Mode of Low-Fluence 1,064 nm Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser
BACKGROUND Low-fluence 1,064 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser has been widely used for the treatment of melasma. Although new Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers with photoacoustic twin pulse (PTP) mode have been recently developed for high-efficiency, there is limited information available for the new technique. OBJECTIVE This study was designed to investigate the efficacy and adverse effects after few sessi...
متن کاملTreatment of Melasma with a Q-Switched 1064nm Laser
Melasma is a pigmentary disorder that is characterized by poorly defined, dark brown macules on sun exposed areas, such as the face, back, and arms. This hyperpigmentation condition affects millions of people worldwide, the majority of whom are women. In the United States alone, it is estimated to affect over 6 million people, including up to 40% of the US female population1. Melasma is more pr...
