Abstract :
The use of high-power diode laser with a wavelength of 755 nm
is an effective and safe method for the correction and partial
and/or total elimination of pigmented lesions, specifically solar
lentigines. This wavelength has yet not been used in diode lasers
to treat solar lentigines. Side effects are the usual ones, including
darkening and scab formation.
Our patient was a 40-year-old woman of Caucasian origin and
IV Fitzpatrick phototype, who presented with solar lentigines
of different sizes and clear edges. The applied treatment was a
high-power diode laser of 755 nanometer (nm), 21 millisecond
(ms) long pulse and 25 J/cm2 fluence. Initially, the darkening of
the lesion occurred, followed by the appearance of a scab, which
remitted 10 days after.
The use of high-power diode laser of single pulse at 755nm, 25J/
cm2 and 21ms, proved effective and safe concerning the removal
of benign pigmented lesions.
