Our experience using 1064 nm Nd:YAG in palmoplantar warts.
Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy : Official Publication of the European Society for Laser Dermatology 2022 July 15
Common warts (verruca vulgaris) are the most commonly seen benign cutaneous tumors occurring in both males and females of various ages. However, warts on the hands and feet (plantar warts and palmar warts) often respond poorly to traditional treatments such as topical salicylic acid, cryotherapy, surgical excision, electrocautery, and bleomycin injection. Recently, the long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser (LPNYL) has attracted attention in the treatment of palmoplantar warts. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the LPNYL in the treatment of palmoplantar warts. We conducted a comparative cross-sectional descriptive study in 88 patients (49 males and 39 females) with palmoplantar warts. During the period from 2018 to 2020, the patients underwent up to three treatment sessions at intervals of 2-4 weeks between sessions. The LPNYL parameters comprised a spot size of 5 mm, 30 ms pulse width, 1 Hz repetition rate, and a fluence range of 140-180 J/cm2 . The patient mean age was 29.0 ± 14.5 years (range, 4-66 years). Good results were seen in 72.9% (64/88) of patients. The remaining 27.1% (24/88) felt their treatment was unsuccessful. As for adverse events, 5 (5.6%) patients reported hemorrhagic blistering after treatment. At the 3- and 6-month follow-up assessments, no recurrence was seen (Figures 2-4). Our study showed that the LPNYL treatment was safe and effective in the majority of palmoplantar warts. The duration of treatment was shorter than most traditional methods; however, the limitations of this method are that the treatment required several sessions, the procedure was painful, and adverse events occurred in just over 5% of the patients.
