Melasma is a prevalent annoying skin hyperpigmentation disorder that commonly involves reproductive-aged females. Variety of treatments with controversial results has been recommended. The aim of the current study was to evaluate combination therapy of tranexamic acid (TA) and vitamin BACKGROUND
Melasma is a uichronic, often relapsing skin disorder, with poor long-term results from all current therapies.
OBJECTIVE
To assess efficacy and safety of non-ablative 1,550 nm fractional laser therapy (FLT) as compared to the gold standard, triple topical therapy
BACKGROUND
A new fractional photothermolysis device is used in our retrospective study to treat melasma in Chinese patients.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the 1927 nm fractional thulium fiber laser in the treatment of melasma in Chinese patients.
METHODS
Eleven melasma patients
Two patients with progressive, diffuse precancerous melanosis (intraepithelial atypical melanocytic hyperplasia or melanocytic dysplasia) of the conjunctiva were treated with cryotherapy. In one patient, the contiguous cutaneous portions of both eyelids were involved and received the same therapy;
Melasma presents a significant challenge to laser surgeons. Aggressive treatments often result in rebound melasma or post-inflammatory pigmentary alteration. Recent reports suggest melasma pathogenesis may have a vascular component. Spectrocolorimetry can detect subtle or sub-clinical telangiectatic
Melasma is a chronic, relapsing disorder that can be disfiguring and can have adverse effects on quality of life. Recently, a unique hydroquinone-free topical product addressing multiple pathways involved in pigmentation was shown to have similar efficacy and equally well tolerated as 4%
BACKGROUND
Various treatments are currently available for melasma. However, results are often disappointing.
OBJECTIVE
We sought to assess the efficacy and safety of nonablative 1550-nm fractional laser therapy and compare results with those obtained with triple topical therapy (the gold
BACKGROUND
Q-switched (QS) lasers are effective in the treatment of freckles and lentigines in Type I and II skin, with minimal adverse effects. Long pulsed (LP) lasers have been proposed to be more suitable for treatment of darker skin types.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the efficacy and adverse
Imatinib mesylate is a cytotoxic agent that targets tyrosine kinase. Common side effects of this drug include nausea, edema and maculopapular rash. Hypopigmentation is a commonly reported side effect of this drug while hyperpigmentation has rarely been described. We describe five cases of
OBJECTIVE
To describe the MR findings of neurocutaneous melanosis in the brain and correlate these with the known pathology and proposed embryologic basis of this disorder.
METHODS
The brain (seven patients) and spine (three patients) MR scans of seven patients with neurocutaneous melanosis were
BACKGROUND
Melasma is an acquired hyperpigmentary disorder characterized by dark patches or macules located on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, chin, and neck. Treatment of melasma involves the use of topical hypopigmenting agents such as hydroquinone, tretinoin, and azelaic acid and its
BACKGROUND
A 1,927-nm wavelength was recently added to the 1,550-nm erbium-doped fiber laser. This wavelength possesses a higher absorption coefficient for water than the 1,550-nm, conferring greater ability to target epidermal processes such as dyschromia.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy and
