AI Article Synopsis
- Treatment of pigmented lesions, like melanocytic nevi, ephelides, solar lentigines, and café au lait macules, poses significant challenges for laser and cosmetic practitioners.
- Different wavelengths between 500-1100 nm are required for effective laser treatment because melanin absorbs these wavelengths, making it crucial to choose the right laser for each lesion.
- The paper aims to review the best laser treatment protocols for various pigmented skin lesions and compare their efficacy based on previous research findings.
Article Abstract
Treatment of pigmented lesions is one of the major challenges of laser and cosmetic practitioners. The most common pigmented lesions that are treated by lasers are melanocytic nevi, ephelides, solar lentigines, and café au lait macules. Melanin absorbs different wavelengths (500-1100 nm); thereby, treatment of various pigmented lesions requires the application of lasers with different wavelengths. Choosing the most appropriate type of laser depends on various factors such as the chromophore and the location of a specific lesion in the skin. In this paper, we aim to review the most efficient laser treatment protocols for each pigmented skin lesion and compare their efficacy in each part based on the previous studies.
