OBJECTIVE: Long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser can damage vessels with higher diameters and penetrate to a deeper level than other laser therapies. We aim to analyze outcomes of the treatment of leg veins with long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser regarding intervention protocol, technical success, clinical success, and side effects. METHODS: A research of the published literature was conducted, using PubMed and Embase databases, in April 2022. The key words used were telangiectasia, reticular veins, neodymium YAG laser, clearance, satisfaction, and treatment...

This study investigated the changes in the ganglion cell complex (GCC) of patients with acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) following focal laser photocoagulation (FLP) and sought to determine its correlation with visual acuity (VA). Our retrospective study was conducted on 30 patients diagnosed with acute CSC between January 2015 and April 2022, who underwent FLP within 3 months of symptom onset. The study assessed GCC changes by measuring the thickness of its inner retinal layers-retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell layer (GCL), and inner plexiform layer (IPL) using optical coherence tomography (OCT)...

Light-based hair removal home devices emit intense pulse light (IPL) or Diode laser. While the Food and Drug Administration controls them in the US, Europe continues to classify them as cosmetic products. Emerging concerns are: what if an unprotected eye is inadvertently exposed to light emission? Or if the consumer tries to overcome the protective safety features? We performed this systematic review by searching the Medline, CENTRAL, and Google Scholar databases to investigate the ocular damage reported after exposure to IPL for hair removal...

Electromagnetic radiation, notably visible light (VL), has complicated effects on human skin, particularly pigmentation, which have been largely overlooked. In this review, we discuss the photobiological mechanisms, pathological effects, clinical applications and therapeutic strategies of VL at varying wavelengths on melanocyte biology and skin pigmentary disorders. Different VL wavelengths may impose positive or negative effects, depending on their interactions with specific chromophores, photoaging, ROS production, circadian rhythm and other photon-mediated reactions...

Laser technology has significantly improved giving better results, which in turn has led to an increase in the indications for laser therapy. Vascular anomalies comprise vascular tumors and malformations. They are classified according to the type of vessels involved including arteries, capillaries, postcapillary venules, veins, lymphatic vessels, and a combination of two or more of these. Laser needs a chromophore to get absorbed and act. Hemoglobin, both oxy and deoxy, is one of the naturally occurring chromophore that is abundant in vascular lesions...

INTRODUCTION: Hypertrophic scarring is a common and debilitating consequence of burn scars. While there is limited evidence for current treatment options, laser therapy has been shown to be effective, low risk and minimally invasive. This study assesses the use of carbon dioxide lasers and intense pulsed light devices in the treatment of hypertrophic burn scars. METHODS: In this case series, patients were recruited from a hypertrophic burn scar waitlist and completed a Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale prior to and six weeks after laser therapy...

Visible light optical coherence tomography (VIS-OCT) of the human retina is an emerging imaging modality that uses shorter wavelengths in visible light range than conventional near-infrared (NIR) light. It provides one-micron level axial resolution to better separate stratified retinal layers, as well as microvascular oximetry. However, due to the practical limitation of laser safety and comfort, the permissible illumination power is much lower than NIR OCT, which can be challenging to obtain high-quality VIS-OCT images and subsequent image analysis...

Atypical clinical and dermoscopic findings, or changes in pigmented melanocytic lesions located on body areas treated with lasers or intense pulsed light (IPL) for hair removal (photoepilation), have been described in the literature. There are three prospective studies in a total of 79 individuals with 287 melanocytic nevi and several case reports reporting the dermoscopic findings and changes after photoepilation. Clinical changes have been reported in 20-100% of individuals, while dermoscopic changes have been observed in 48% to 93% of nevi...

Introduction: Different therapies have been applied to keloids and hypertrophic scars. Intense pulsed light (IPL) has recently been used but the evidence is limited. This study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of IPL as monotherapy for keloids and hypertrophic scars. Methods: This was a before-and-after interventional study on 16 patients with 50 scars who underwent IPL. Seven scars receive one IPL session, seven received two sessions, and 36 received three sessions. Outcomes were evaluated by the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS), Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS), scar ultrasound, colorimeter for pigmentation and erythema, and side effects...

Background: Dry eye disease (DED) is a complex ocular surface inflammatory disorder with a multifactorial etiology. Therapies such as intense pulsed light (IPL) and heated eye mask (HEM) have been reported to improve the tear film lipid layer (TFLL) and signs and symptoms of DED. Methods: This randomized study aimed to compare the effects of IPL combined with HEM (IPL+HEM) group, IPL group, and control group in participants with evaporative DED. All participants were examined at baseline (D0), day 21 (D21), day 42 (D42), and day 84 (D84) for noninvasive tear breakup time (NITBUT), TFLL, corneal conjunctival staining (CS), meibomian gland quality (MGQ), meibomian gland expressibility (MGEx), and Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI)...

BACKGROUND: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a common parasitic disorder that is endemic in many countries. There is no completely effective treatment for this condition, but pentavalent antimony compounds are regarded as the main treatment. Different laser types have been used for treatment of CL with variable success but to our best knowledge, there is no published paper regarding use of intense pulsed light (IPL) for treatment of CL. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this randomized, single-blind clinical trial study, we compared the efficacy of intralesional glucantime alone versus intralesional glucantime plus weekly IPL for treatment of 54 patients with confirmed cutaneous leishmaniasis for a maximum of eight weeks as a randomized, clinical trial...

BACKGROUND: Although pulsed dye laser (PDL) is the treatment of choice for port-wine stains (PWS), clinical resistance to PDL has been observed in 20-30% of cases. Several alternative treatment modalities have been introduced; however, there is still a lack of definite recommendations regarding the optimal treatment for difficult-to-treat PWS.
