The effect of 1540-nm fractional erbium-glass laser in the treatment of androgenic alopecia.

Background: Androgenic alopecia is common, chronic dermatologic disorder. A variety of lasers and light sources appear to be safe and effective in the treatment of AGA.

Aims: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 1540-nm fractional erbium glass laser in the treatment of AGA.

The Use of a 1,540 nm Fractional Erbium-Glass Laser in Treatment of Alopecia Areata.

Background And Objectives: Varieties of laser and light sources have been tried for treatment of alopecia areata (AA) and some success has been reported. To assess the effectiveness of 1,540  nm fractional erbium-glass laser in treatment of AA.

Study Design/materials And Methods: The patches of AA were divided into two groups, the study group (I) underwent six sessions of laser therapy at weekly interval with topical minoxidil solution applied twice daily for 6 weeks, while group (II), the control group was received only topical minoxidil solution.

A new imaging technique for assessment of the effectiveness of long pulse Nd:YAG 532 nm laser in treatment of facial port wine stain.

Background: PWS is a vascular malformation presented at birth and associated with a psychological problem to the patients. Many types of laser systems were used to solve this problem.

Aim Of The Study: To assess the efficacy of long-pulsed Nd:YAG 532-nm laser in the treatment of port wine stain both clinically and by imaging technique.

Split lesion randomized comparative study between long pulsed Nd:YAG laser 532 and 1,064 nm in treatment of facial port-wine stain.

Background: Lasers have been the treatment of choice for Port-wine stain (PWS). However, only one type of laser is not a panacea for all PWS malformations. This is may be due to the great heterogeneity of phenotypic presentation of this congenital anomaly as color, depth, and the site of the lesion.
