Facial Aesthetic Laser-Assisted Protocol for the Management of Acne and Pigmentation: A Case Report

Abstract

The demand for aesthetic procedures is significantly increasing worldwide. In this case report, an in-office laser-assisted protocol coupled with rejuvenating concentrate serum (Gluage, TEBISKIN Gluage, SkinMed, Italy) was made. A 24-year-old female patient presented with a chief complaint of abundant facial acne and localized pigmentation. Clinical examination revealed the presence of abundant acne on the forehead and cheeks and the presence of localized pigmentation. Laser-assisted protocol coupled with rejuvenating concentrate serum was suggested. The protocol consisted of a thorough cleansing of the face followed by irradiation with a 980 nm diode laser (Smart M, Lasotronix, Poland), followed by a 405 nm diode laser (Smart M, Lasotronix, Poland), the application of rejuvenating concentrate serum (Gluage, TEBISKIN Gluage, SkinMed, Italy), and irradiation with the 635 nm diode laser (Smart M, Lasotronix, Poland). The protocol was made once per week for three weeks (three sessions in total), and a three-month follow-up was made after the end of the last session to confirm the effectiveness of the treatment. Stomatology 1 diode laser (Smart M, Lasotronix, Poland) was used in this case report as a 980 nm, 405 nm, and 635 nm diode laser (Smart M, Lasotronix, Poland). During the follow-up period, an almost total reduction of the acne was observed with the total disappearance of the localized pigmentation. This case report confirms the effectiveness of the proposed laser-assisted facial aesthetic treatment. We invite further studies to be made within the same suggested promising protocol.
