“…Multiple sessions are needed and should be always associated with proper high SPF sun protection. Combination of ablative fractional lasers (CO 2 or 2940 nm erbium) or photo‐acoustic fractional ablation and multiple passes (up to max 3) of full beam QS 1064‐nm could achieve better and faster cosmetic results Recommendation Multiple sessions of QS lasers and/or fractional ablative lasers are required to improve exogenous ochronosis.…”

Background Lasers and intense pulsed light sources (IPLS) are proposed for the treatment of many pigmentary disorders. They are sometimes considered as magic tools able to remove any type of lesions. Although being the best option for several hyperpigmented lesions, they can also worsen some conditions and have potential side‐effects. Objective The aim of this review was to give evidence‐based recommendations for the use of lasers and IPLS in the treatment of hyperpigmented lesions. Methods These recommendations were produced for the European Society of Laser Dermatology by a consensus panel made up of experts in the field of pigment laser surgery. Recommendations on the use of lasers and light treatments were made based on the quality of evidence for efficacy, safety, tolerability, cosmetic outcome, patient satisfaction/preference and, where appropriate, on the experts' opinion. Results Lasers and IPLS are very effective for treating many hyperpigmented lesions such as lentigos, dermal hypermelanocytosis or heavy metal depositions. In the other hand, they have to be considered with great caution for other disorders, such as café au lait macules, melasma or postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. After making the correct diagnosis, if lasers or IPLS are indicated, the optimal wavelengths and parameters will be chosen taking into account the skin phototype, origin and depth of the target pigments. Conclusion Although potentially very effective, lasers and IPLS cannot be proposed for all types of hyperpigmented lesions. In all cases, precise recognition of the disorder is mandatory for choosing between these devices and other therapeutic approaches.

“…Other modalities involve longer wavelength lasers, as they are able to penetrate deeper and possibly reach the dermal deposits. These other modalities involve QS ruby (694 nm), QS alexandrite (755 nm), and QS Nd:YAG (1064 nm) lasers [48,[52][53][54], with one study reporting good results after combining an ablative carbon dioxide laser with an Nd:YAG laser [55].…”

Facial Hyperpigmentation in Skin of Color: Special Considerations and Treatment

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Differences in cutaneous diseases in people of color call for nuanced evaluation and management. One of the most common dermatological complaints from patients with skin of color is dyspigmentation, particularly hyperpigmentation. The challenge for clinicians is to establish correct diagnoses along with consistently successful treatments to meet the needs of the increasingly diverse population served. This review focuses on facial hyperpigmentation and outlines the most common skin disorders and treatment options.

“…Numerous treatments have been described, including topical retinoids, chemical peeling with glycolic acid, and carbon dioxide laser. 5 Currently, the best results are achieved by treatment with the neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) laser, which fragments the ochre bodies and facilitates their phagocytosis. 6 …”
