The use of high-power diode laser with a wavelength of 755 nm is an effective and safe method for the correction and partial and/or total elimination of pigmented lesions, specifically solar lentigines. This wavelength has yet not been used in diode lasers to treat solar lentigines. Side effects are the usual ones, including darkening and scab formation. Our patient was a 40-year-old woman of C...

The multiple lentigines syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition which has many similarities to Noonan syndrome, except in the most striking feature from which its name is derived. The less neutral but very apt mnemonic, LEOPARD syndrome, was first used by Gorlin et al to whom the major debt in the definition of this syndrome lies, that is, Lentigines, ECG abnormalities, Ocular hypertelorism...

Background and aim: Solar lentigines are common sun-induced benign melanocytic proliferations that present a significant cosmetic problem for many middle- aged and elderly patients. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of cryotherapy in comparison to trichloroacetic acid (TCA) 33% on solar lentigines on the back of the hands (SLBH).Materials and Methods:...

DEAR EDITOR, Pigmented cutaneous spots, such as actinic/solar lentigines, develop with advancing age and are most commonly observed in chronically sun-exposed areas of the skin, such as the face, neck and dorsa of the hands. Actinic lentigines are characterized histopathologically by hyperpigmentation of the epidermal basal layer with an elongation of the epidermal rete ridges, and an increase ...

introduction: solar lentigines are among commonest cosmetic problems. there are many topical therapies suggested to treat these lesions including cryotherapy, chemical peeling with tri chloro acetic acid (tca) and laser therapy with q-switched lasers as well as long pulsed lasers. considering possible treatment side effects (pih, scar) with cryotherapy and peeling in iranian patients (darker sk...

BACKGROUND The risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is increased during freckles and lentigines treatment in Asians. OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness and safety of using 595-nm long pulsed dye laser (LPDL), 755-nm LP Alexandrite laser, 532-nm QS Nd:YAG laser and 532-nm LP potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser for the treatment of freckles or lentigines in Asian patients...

Adalimumab, a TNF-alpha antagonist, is the first fully humanized recombinant immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody. It is presently widely used in the systemic treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, moderate and severe psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa. However, its administration is associated with a two-fold risk of severe and possibly fatal infections and ...

A solar lentigo is a flat, sharply circumscribed patch. It can be round, oval or irregular in shape. Color varies from skincolored, brown to dark brown or black, and size varies from a few millimeters to several centimeters in diameter [1, 2]. It results from long-term exposure to Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which causes local proliferation of epidermal melanocytes and accumulation of melanin w...
