“…Multiple treatment modalities have been proposed with no consistent efficacy: puncture and drainage (a simple and low-cost process, but it will only yield a transient improvement, with an early recurrence [3, 5]), surgical excision [3, 8], CO 2 and other lasers [5,8,9,10,11], microdermabrasion and electrodesiccation (easy to perform and low cost, but with a high risk of scarring [12]) as well as topical atropine [13, 14] and scopolamine [15, 16]. …”

Background: Eccrine hidrocystomas are rarely described benign cystic lesions, mainly presenting in middle-aged women in the centrofacial area and usually associated with a chronic course, seasonal variability and no proved and consistently efficacious treatments. Case Report: We report 2 patients, a 45- and a 56-year-old woman, with multiple facial eccrine hidrocystomas suggested by dermatoscopy, confirmed by histology and treated with botulinum toxin A with excellent results. Conclusion: Our report stresses the role of dermatoscopy in the diagnosis and follow-up of these lesions, as well as the impact of repeated treatments with botulinum toxin A in eccrine hidrocystomas suggesting it as a first-line treatment for multiple eccrine hidrocystomas because it is easy to use and has no risk of scars.

“…Several studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of this laser for treatment of sebaceous hyperplasia, 15 scarring, 16,17 rejuvenation, 18 apocrine hydrocystoma, 19 and lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei 20 . David 15 found that heat‐induced destruction of sebaceous glands is the most likely mechanism of treatment of sebaceous hyperplasia using 1,450‐nm‐diode lasers.…”

“…13 Recent studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of a commercially available laser with this wavelength (Smoothbeam, Candela, Wayland, MA) for the treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory acne by significantly reducing lesion counts; the device received FDA approval for this use in 2003. 14 Several studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of this laser for treatment of sebaceous hyperplasia, 15 scarring, 16,17 rejuvenation, 18 apocrine hydrocystoma, 19 and lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei. 20 David 15 found that heat-induced destruction of sebaceous glands is the most likely mechanism of treatment of sebaceous hyperplasia using 1,450nm-diode lasers.…”

BACKGROUND Various treatments of xanthelasma palpebrarum have been studied, including surgical excision, treatment with chemicals, and ablative laser therapy, but these methods have some disadvantages. Recently, nonablative laser therapy has been proposed as a treatment for xanthelasma palpebrarum.OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of a 1,450-nm-diode laser in the treatment of xanthelasma.MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen patients were treated using a 1,450-nm-diode laser. Fluences of 12 J/cm 2 , a 6-mm spot size, and a dynamic cooling device setting of 20 to 30 ms were used. One to four treatments 4 to 6 weeks apart were given to each patient. Photographs were taken before each treatment session and 4 to 6 weeks after the last treatment.RESULTS Two (12.5%), eight (50%), and four (25%) of the 16 patients were scored as having some (20-40% clearing), moderate (40-60% clearing), and marked (60-80% clearing) improvement, respectively. Focal mild transient hyperpigmentation was noted in five patients. Post-treatment local swelling lasted 3 to 4 days. CONCLUSION The 1,450-nm-diode laser treatment is a new, valuable treatment option for xanthelasma palpebrarum, offering relatively mild side effects. Studies including long term follow up and a comparison with alternative treatment modalities are necessary to further assess the clinical utility of this treatment.The authors have indicated no significant interest with commercial supporters.
