Abstract Aim Lasers and non‐coherent intense pulse light sources ( IPLS ) are based on the principle of selective photothermolysis can be used for treatment many vascular skin lesions. A variety lasers has been developed congenital acquired lesions which incorporate these concepts into their design. Although laser very popular due to non‐invasive nature, caution should considered by practitioners patients avoid permanent side‐effects. The aim guidelines is give evidence‐based recommendations...

Abstract Background Clinical manifestations of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) vary widely, and different subtypes this autoimmune disease exist. Tumidus subtype (LT) has been recently separated from the chronic is now considered an independent entity due to its particular clinical histological features. Different treatments are usually prescribed for CLE. Our group experience CLE effectively treated with pulsed dye laser (PDL). It was our impression that better responses were achieved...

Tuberous sclerosis is a complex disorder of hamartoma formation in many organs, particularly the skin, brain, eye, kidney, and heart. The characteristic skin lesions are angiofibromas (AF), shagreen patch, periungual fibromas, "ash-leaf" white macules. Treatment for AF has previously included electrocoagulation, electrodesiccation curettage, dermabrasion, excision, cryosurgery, oral 13-cis retinoic acid. Both argon CO2 lasers have been used isolated cases to treat AF.The purpose this work...

Pulsed dye laser (PDL) is the current treatment of choice for port-wine stains (PWS), but 25-50% treated lesions do not demonstrate a significant improvement. Hybrid lasers may improve efficacy, especially those using synergies between PDL and Nd:YAG 1064 nm laser. The objectives this study were to assess vessel wall damage epidermal sparing after dual wavelength with two lasers, different parameters.Post-treatment biopsies, platform that allows sequential pulses performed in five patients...

Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disorder with wide range of skin manifestations. Current treatment options include topical and systemic approaches. Few controlled prospective studies have been performed using the pulsed dye laser (PDL). Based on previous experience that supported efficacy PDL CLE, we decided to study histological changes induced by PDL.A was nine patients histologically confirmed CLE treated PDL. Biopsies were taken before, immediately...

Absorption of topical products through the epidermis is limited by skin's barrier function. Numerous techniques and agents such as microneedling, dermabrasion, radiofrequency, lasers have been used to increase penetration within an approach known transdermal drug delivery. One these laser-assisted delivery (LADD), which often uses ablative fractional (CO2 or erbium:YAG lasers) because their capacity produce microscopic ablated channels. The parameters in LADD need be adjusted patient, skin...

The treatment of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) with dye and argon laser has been evaluated in a number articles recent years. improvement telangiectasias chronic erythema the lesions was based on selective photothermolysis ablation dilated capillaries venules.We describe results 14 patients; eight discoid (DLE) six systemic (SLE). Three patients received flashlamp pulsed (FPDL) (585 nm, 450 microseconds) fluences range from 5 to 7.75 J/cm(2); other 11 were treated long (LPDL) (595...

Keratosis pilaris rubra (KPR) and keratosis atrophicans faciei (KPAF) are both keratinization disorders characterized by erythema keratotic follicular papules usually located on cheeks, forehead, chin eyebrows. Topical keratolytics, vitamin D3 analogues, antibiotics, topical oral retinoids have been used with limited results. As this condition can be socially very limiting, the need for an effective treatment has led to use of other technologies such as pulsed dye laser (PDL) or intense...

Infantile hemangiomas are the most common benign tumor in children. They have 3 phases of development: a proliferative phase, an involuting and involution. Although active treatment is often not required, it necessary some cases. Of possible treatments for hemangiomas, lasers been shown to be effective all development. We report our experience with dual-wavelength sequential pulses from pulsed dye laser Nd:YAG laser.This was retrospective, descriptive study patients infantile hemangioma...

Venous malformations (VM) represent a localized error in the embryological development of venous branch circulation. The management VM is complex and challenging. aim this study was to assess efficacy safety combined sequential pulsed dye laser (PDL)-Nd:YAG patients with cutaneous or mucosal VM.Thirty (age from 8 65 years) treated dual wavelength PDL-Nd:YAG were retrospectively analyzed. Laser parameters 10 mm spot size ms pulse 8-10 J/cm(2) PDL, followed second delay by Nd:YAG 15 20 at...

The facial flat wart is not only a contagious viral disease, but also cause of distressing cosmetic problem. Although there are many therapeutic options, including salicylic acid, imiquimod, cryotherapy, retinoids, intralesional immunotherapy, and topical 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy among others, no monotherapy has been proved to achieve complete remission in every case. Treatment with pulsed dye laser (PDL) seems be promising option. To assess the efficacy safety PDL series...

Telangiectases and chronic erythema are the usual components of cutaneous lesions lupus erythematosus (LE). These vascular alterations found in discoid, subacute, or systemic varieties LE. Steroids, antimalarial drugs, thalidomide, immunosuppresive sunscreens, cosmetic agents have been employed treatment these lesions, showing different results. The flashlamp pulsed dye laser (FPDL) (585 nm) has proven useful a variety lesions. We treated four patients with LE (SLE) using an FPDL. <h3>Report...

Venous malformations of the skin and subcutaneous tissue are compressible, blue-purple tumors that present at birth. According to location symptoms caused, venous can be treated with surgery, sclerotherapy, or a combination both. Laser therapy also used, especially when surgery is contraindicated. We report case 24-year-old man who presented malformation on upper lower left eyelids, which provoked mechanical ptosis. Treatment sequential pulsed-dye neodymium yttrium aluminum garnet...
