“…The 532‐nm potassium titanyl phosphate laser (KTPL) has shown efficacy in one case report without the PDL‐associated bruise‐like discoloration after treatment . A randomized control study reported that the 810‐nm long‐pulsed diode laser was effective in treating KP . Combination modalities as PDL combined with long‐pulsed 755‐nm alexandrite laser and microdermabrasion have also shown some efficacy .…”

“…Various treatment modalities have been tried with variable success including, emollients, exfoliants, and anti‐inflammatory agents, such as urea, salicylic acid, lactic acid, topical corticosteroids, topical retinoids, and cholecalciferol . Phototherapy and various lasers such as the 532‐, 585‐, and 595‐nm vascular devices have also been used with some improvement, especially reducing redness.…”

Background Numerous treatment modalities for keratosis pilaris have been tried with limited success. Aim To determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of fractional CO2 laser in the treatment of KP. Patients and methods This prospective, single‐blinded split‐body placebo‐controlled comparative study was conducted on 60 patients with bilateral KP of arms (group A) and thighs (group B). One side randomly received fractional CO2 laser treatment (power 12 W, time on 3 ms, PPI 5) in the form of two sessions four weeks apart. The contralateral control side was treated with a topical keratolytic (10% urea). Standardized digital clinical and dermoscopic photographs were obtained at each visit. Results Significant improvement has been demonstrated clinically and dermoscopically in both arm and thigh lesions after fractional CO2 laser. In group A, excellent improvement was noted in 10 patients (33.3%), good improvement in 18 patients (60%), and moderate improvement in 2 patients (6.7%) at the second visit. In group B, minimal improvement was noted in 2 (6.7%) patients, moderate improvement in 16 patients (53.3%), and good improvement in 12 patients (40%) at the second. Control sides showed minimal improvement on the arm lesions only. No side effects were reported in both groups. The mean pain score in group A was not significantly different from that group B (P = .057). Patient satisfaction was significantly higher in the laser‐treated side arm lesions (P < .001). Conclusion Fractional CO2 laser was associated with significant clinical and dermoscopic improvement of keratosis pilaris lesions in Egyptian patients.

“…The effectiveness of PDL is thought to be attributable to the induced apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells, and it may also lower vascular endothelial growth factor levels . A recent study by Ibrahim et al suggested that the 810‐nm diode laser was an effective treatment for improving skin texture in keratosis pilaris, but they reported no improvement in baseline erythema.…”
