“…Although there are reports of treatment responses in melasma to IPLs and lasers, the overall benefit is often limited and of short duration [11]. Hori's macules, or ABNOM, have also been reported to variably respond to different lasers including QSRL [12], Q-switched Nd:YAG [13,14], Q-switched Alexandrite [2] and combination CO2 laser/QSRL [15]. Variability in response between studies, including ours, may be due to several factors.…”

Background: Dyspigmentation is a common cosmetic concern among Asians. Many individuals exhibit mixed pigmentary entities including melasma, flat/small seborrheic keratoses, ephelides, solar lentigines and acquired bilateral nevus-of-Ota-like macules (ABNOM). We term this phenomenon complex dyspigmentation (CD) and suggest that a combination strategy may be more efficacious than any singular modality. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of combined intense-pulsed light (IPL) for global photorejuvenation along with Q-switched ruby laser (QSRL) for targeted pigment dissolution. Study Design/Materials and Methods: Twenty-five Korean women with CD (defined as > 2 types of facial pigmentary disorders) were initially treated with IPL followed by repeat treatments every 3-4 weeks as needed. The QSRL treatments, set at low fluence, were added either during the same session or within 1 week of the IPL treatment. Improvement was assessed by the patient, the treating physician and a blinded evaluation of pre-and post-treatment photographs. Results: Using a 4-point scale (1 ¼ poor, 2 ¼ fair, 3 ¼ good, 4 ¼ excellent), 19/25 patients (76%) reporting good-to-excellent response (score ''3'' or ''4''). Two independent physician assessment revealed that 15/25 patients (60%) showed 76-100% improvement while 19/25 patients (76%) showed at least 50% improvement. Side-effects were minimal: 3 patients had transient post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (12%) and 1 patient (4%) had linear hypopigmentation. Conclusions: Combination treatment with IPL and QSRL is an effective and safe treatment for CD among Asian patients.

Some types of melanocytic nevi are seldom mentioned in the literature and are therefore less well known. In the current study, we focus on the concepts of eponyms, synonyms, clinical presentation, and morphology of the following types: Meyerson nevus, cockarde (or cockade) nevus, Hori nevus, Sun nevus, Hidanos nevus, Duperrat nevus, Spark nevus, nevus spilus, eclipse nevus, Kerl nevus, and Kopf nevus.

“…Although many treatment modalities have been tried, the most successful means of removal include the use of QS lasers; in individuals with skin of color, use of the longer wavelength Nd:YAG is safest [80][81][82][83][84][85][86].…”

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.
