“… 7 , 8 As a result of the laser treatment, dermal fibrosis can sometimes occur above those pigment cells, masking the residual dermal melanocytes and contributing to the disappearance of the residual pigmentation. 14 , 15 The present study showed an apparent fading of residual pigmentation between the laser treatments. Such fading may continue even years after the initial laser treatment.…”

“…One report using histological observations estimates that 4-6 laser treatments are required to achieve a subtle scar with masking properties (14). Six children in our study had 5 or more treatments and reached high maximum fluences between 30 and 40 J/cm 2 .…”

“…Imayama et al 59 performed a long-term clinical and histologic study of CMN treated with normal mode ruby laser (NMRL) in 10 patients. 59 Malignant changes were absent from all studied nevi, but nevus cells remained, even in the nevi with good cosmetic results.…”
