Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Er: YAG) laser in the treatment of solar lentigines. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on patients treated with the only Er: YAG laser. In this study, 14 patients with multiple solar lentigines before treatment were included. Treatment parameters and all side effects were recorded. One independent, blinded dermatologist evaluated the clinical improvement and the patients also scored their satisfaction degree with the treatment. Results: The mean age of the patients was 41.07±7.16 years. The number of mean treatment session for each patient was 1.79±1.05. At the final visit, excellent improvement (76–100% clearance) was reached in eight (57.1%) patients, while good improvement (51-75% clearance) was achieved in five (35.7%) patients. Ten patients (71.4%) were very satisfied and four (28.5%) patients were satisfied with the results of the treatment. No side effects occurred. Conclusion: Er: YAG laser treatment may be an effective and safe optional modality for solar lentigines.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the Erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Er: YAG) laser in the treatment of solar lentigo. Tools and Methods: Er: Retrospective study was conducted with patients treated with YAG laser. 14 patients with a large number of solar lens were included in the study before treatment. Treatment parameters and followed side effects were recorded. Clinical healing was assessed by an independent dermatologist, and the patients also assessed their satisfaction with the results of treatment. Results: The average age of patients was 41.07±7.16 (year). The average number of seasn treatments for each patient was 1.79±1.05. In the final assessment, 8 patients (57.1%) observed perfect healing t (76-100% decline), while 5 patients (35.7) observed good healing (51-75% decline). Ten patients (71.4%) were very pleased with the results of treatment, 4 patients (28.5%) were very pleased. No side effects related to treatment were observed. The result: Solar lens: YAG laser treatment can be an effective and safe method. (SETB-2018-07-101)
