Complications of 595 and 755 nm Lasers in Therapy of Small Hemangiomas
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study was conducted to examine and compare the clinical response of patients with small hemangiomas treated with two non-ablative lasers with wavelength radiation 755 nm and 595 nm. The treatment efficacy – curative effect and loss of pigment and appearance of scars were compared using Pearson’s chi-square test. The therapeutic effect of 595 nm laser radiation was very high – almost 100%. In the contrary, the exposure of 755 nm laser radiation caused loss of pigment and scar formation in some cases.

BACKGROUND Alexandrite (755 nm) and diode lasers (800-810 nm) are commonly used for hair removal. The alexandrite laser technology is somewhat cumbersome whereas new diode lasers are more robust. Recently, alexandrite-like 755 nm wavelength diodes became available. OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacy, tolerability, and subject satisfaction of a 755 nm diode laser operated in conventional (HR) ...
متن کاملA Comparative Study Between 595-Nm Pulsed Dye Laser with Cutaneous Compression and Cryotherapy in the Treatment of Solar Lentigines
Background: Although cryotherapy is still the first-line therapy for solar lentigines, due to side effects such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), especially in patients with darker skin types, pigment specific lasers should be considered as initial treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cryotherapy in comparison with 595-nm pulsed dye laser (PDL)...
متن کاملTreatment of hypertrophic and resistant port wine stains with a 755 nm laser: a case series of 20 patients.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Port wine stains (PWS) are heterogeneous vascular malformations that can be treated with vascular-selective pulsed dye lasers (PDL). Hypertrophic PWS, especially in adults, are consistently less responsive to PDL. Furthermore, many PWS that respond well initially to PDL treatment may reach a response plateau, becoming unresponsive to further PDL treatments, a phenomenon...
