“…Such sizes in combination with short-laser pulse width lead to local nature of laser-induced thermal effects. This may allow, for example, selective thermal treatment, such as photothermolysis [2,6,7], laser depilation, phototherapy of port wine stains, and treatment of pigmented lesions [9][10][11]. Thermal microeffects induced by shortlaser pulse (from microseconds to femtoseconds) in cellular structures can be used for the development of entirely new medical applications of laser.…”

“…Melanin, the main chromophore in most epidermal and dermal pigmented lesions, has a broad absorption spectrum extending from the UV range through the visible and infrared spectra. The selective range of wavelengths for targeting melanin lies between 630-1100 nm, where there is good skin penetration and preferential absorption by melanin over other skin chromophore such as oxyhaemoglobin and water [2].…”

Our purpose is to study the efficacy of the alexandrite laser (755 nm) and the fractional laser when treating pigmentary lesions .We use the data of our private office of the last five years (2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015) We treated 1000 patients with freckles with alexandrite laser, 200 patients with melasma with fractional laser, 100 patients with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation with alexandrite laser and 60 patients with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation with fractional laser. We also studied the side effects of the therapies. Alexandrite laser has excellent results for freckles, while the combination of chemical peelings and fractional laser is good for the treatment of melasma. Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation has an intermediate response. The recurrence rates are higher in melasma and the side effects are generally minimal.

“…In den meisten Fällen ist das Chromophor Melanin, obgleich auch andere exogene und endogene Pigmente das Ziel sein können.Epidermale Pigmentläsionen reagieren gut auf Laser mit kürzeren Wellenlängen (bis 755 nm), wohingegen für tiefere Läsionen die pigmentspezifischen Laser mit längeren Wellenlängen (jenseits von 694 nm) besser geeignet sind.Der gü-tegeschaltete Nd:YAG-Laser mit 1.064 nm eignet sich am besten für die Behandlung von dunklen Hauttypen. Im Allgemeinen erbringt die Laserbehandlung von Lentigines, Sommersprossen und dermalen Naevi eine deutliche Verbesserung oder gar eine vollständige Beseitigung,während Café-au-lait-Flecken, postinflammatorische Hyperpigmentierung und Melasma auf eine Laserbehandlung unterschiedlich reagieren [50].…”

The improved understanding of laser-tissue interaction along with the latest advances of laser technology have led to the development of sophisticated, safe, and user-friendly laser systems that provide effective treatment for a variety of aesthetic skin conditions. The use of lasers and their tissue-specific capabilities in the treatment of pigmented and vascular lesions has been greatly expanded to include rhytides, photoaged skin, atrophic scars, and unwanted hair. In addition, laser techniques have been employed in traditional "rejuvenating" procedures of aged skin, e.g., face-lifting, blepharoplasty, and hair transplantation, decreasing the intra-operative time and limiting the recovery period. These advances have led to a wide acceptance of cutaneous laser surgery by the dermatologic community and have created an increasing popularity among the public. The purpose of this article is to review the applications of lasers in aesthetic dermatology and discuss their limitations and potential side effects.
