Treatment of solar lentigines using a combination of picosecond laser and biophotonic treatment

Abstract

Key Clinical MessageTreating solar lentigines using picosecond‐switched lasers that selectively remove the excess pigment was combined with Kleresca® biophotonic treatment. This therapy uses fluorescent light energy to stimulate healing by increasing collagen production and reducing inflammation. Combining these therapies successfully removed solar lentigines and achieved normalized and rejuvenated treated skin.

“…For these specific cases, FLE could be used in combination with laser treatment to achieve an enhanced overall appearance of the skin. Indeed, we recently reported a combination of FLE with picosecond laser in the treatment of solar lentigines, which produced enhanced effects …”

“…Photographs were taken before the treatments commenced and during the full course of treatment (ie once a week). The photographs were analyzed using a color balance threshold with ImageJ v.1.51u (NIH, USA) . The percentage area of inflammation/redness was masked out and measured (Figure ).…”

“…Beneficial effects of FLE, such as reducing inflammation and associated redness have been reported in acne vulgaris and PPR . Further, FLE also has skin healing and rejuvenating properties as a stand‐alone treatment or when used as a post interventional therapy …”

“…12 Further, FLE also has skin healing and rejuvenating properties as a stand-alone treatment 16 or when used as a post interventional therapy. 17 This study sought to expand the original reports of the benefit of FLE in PPR to other 'subtypes' of rosacea. We investigated a role for FLE in targeting inflammation and erythema in rosacea subtype 1, 2, and 3.…”
