introduction: basal cell carcinoma (bcc) is the most common cutaneous malignancy. proffered treatment for these lesions is surgery. based on patient’s age, drug allergies, and place of lesions, surgery may not be the best option, and alternative treatments should be considered. pulsed dye laser (pdl) may be a good alternative therapy. the aim of the present study was to determine the effectiven...

according to the english literature, various lasers and light sources (i,g. argon ion lasers, pulsed ktp lasers, diode lasers and nd:yag lasers, pulsed dye laser(pdl), intense pulsed light sources (ipls) are applicable for the treatment of different vascular lesions. these conditions are the most important indication for laser therapy. this review summarizes the current literature on ipl with r...

introduction:  no modality has been identified as the treatment of chice for treating common warts. cryothearpy and pulsed-dye laser (pdl) are among common modalities for treating these lesions. the aim of this study was to compare pulsed dye laser with cryotherapy in terms of efficacy and complications. methods:  of a total of 46 patients enrolled in this study, 7 patients withdrew the study, ...

introduction: granuloma faciale is an uncommon inflammatory dermatosis which usually affects the face and is often resistant to treatment. case report: a 39-year-old english lady with fitzpatrick skin phototype ii presented with typical lesions of granuloma faciale, confirmed on biopsy, on her cheeks and nose. treatment with scleroplus pulsed dye laser (candela corporation, wayland, mass) produ...

introduction: trichophyton rubrum is one of the most common species of dermatophytes which affects superficial keratinous tissue. it is not especially virulent but it can be responsible for considerable morbidity. although there are different therapeutic modalities to treat fungal infections, clinicians are searching for alternative treatment because of the various side effects of the present t...

Seventeen two-photon transitions for neon have been observed in the 580- 635 nm spectral region for use in the spectroscopic study of its higher excited levels, which are not accessible by one-photon absorption. To compare the two and one-photon absorption signals originating from the same lower level, an effort was made to record single-photon optogalvanic spectrum in the available wavele...

Pulsed dye laser (PDL) is an effective treatment for port- wine stain and can cause some short- term and long- term side- effects. Pyogenic granoluma is one of its late- onset adverse effects. Herein, we present two cases of pyogenic granoluma following treatment of port- wine stain with PDL.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The 585-nm pulsed-dye laser and the 1,450-nm diode laser have been found effective for the treatment of mild-to-moderate inflammatory facial acne. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combined treatment with the 595-nm pulsed-dye laser and the 1,450-nm diode laser for inflammatory facial acne. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen p...
