Treatment of pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like papillary dermal elastolysis with nonablative fractional resurfacing laser resulting in clinical and histologic improvement in elastin and collagen.
Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy : Official Publication of the European Society for Laser Dermatology 2017 July 32
OBJECTIVE: Pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like papillary dermal elastolysis (PXE-PDE) is a rare skin condition seen predominantly in elderly females. These asymptomatic lesions are brought to the dermatologist's attention due to patient's displeasure in their appearance. We report a case of a 28-year-old female with PXE-PDE on the right neck treated with nonablative fractional resurfacing (NAFR).
CASE: The patient on examination had yellow-to-skin-colored papules that coalesced into a cobblestone-appearing plaque on her lateral neck. The area was treated with NAFR to improve texture and cosmesis. After three treatments, the patient noted at least a 50% improvement of appearance and texture in the affected skin. Adverse effects were mild without development of serious side effects, such as scarring and/or permanent dyspigmenation.
CONCLUSION: Established therapies for elastin disorders like PXE-PDE have yielded unsatisfactory results by patient and clinician standards. Positive results with NAFR, illustrated in our PXE-PDE case, further provides a role for NAFR in elastin disorders.
