Background: Nevus of Ota (NOTA) is a dermal melanocytosis acquired in early childhood or pregnancy. Given their color variability, NOTA often require a combination of wavelengths for successful treatment. Quality-switched lasers have consistently shown efficacy in targeting dermal pigment, while picosecond lasers (PSLs) are an emerging technology for pigmentary disorders.

- Café-au-lait macules (CALMs) are benign brown birthmarks that can cause cosmetic distress, especially in skin of color patients, and the 730-nm picosecond titanium sapphire laser offers a new treatment option for these lesions.
- A retrospective study was conducted on 14 patients, with an average age of 27.4 years, showing a 26%-50% improvement in their CALMs after about 4.3 treatment sessions, with some achieving full clearance.
- Despite overall positive outcomes, challenges included varying effectiveness based on CALM subtype and the potential for recurrence or transient pigmentation issues following treatment.
