Small common acquired melanocytic nevi (AMNs) are common on Asian facial skin.
To show that the 755 nm Alexandrite laser stacked at the 100-μs long-pulsed mode (μsAL) is an effective modality for the removal of selected AMNs.
This was a retrospective case series, followed up with a telephone interview.
A retrospective analysis of all patients treated between January 2010 and April 2012 with the μsAL laser for small AMNs was conducted. Pre- and post-treatment facial photographs and photographs of the individual lesions were analyzed by two independent dermatological surgeons for degree of clearance and complications. A telephone interview was conducted with the patients to assess their satisfaction with the procedure.
A total of 18 patients with 53 lesions were included. 7/18 (38.9%) of patients had 'excellent' results. No patients had 'mild' or 'poor' results. At 4 week post-treatment, 49/53 (92.5%) were totally cleared, with 14/53 (26.4%) reporting mild atrophy, and 11/53 (20.8%) reporting mild post-inflammatory hypopigmentation. The majority of lesions had negligible complications. 9/18 (50%) judged the procedure to be 'excellent', and all patients reported that they would recommend this procedure to a friend seeking removal of small facial AMNs.

小型常见获得性黑素细胞痣（AMN）在亚洲人面部皮肤很常见。
证明755纳米翠绿宝石激光以100微秒长脉冲模式（μsAL）叠加是去除特定AMN的有效方法。
这是一项回顾性病例系列研究，并通过电话访谈进行随访。
对2010年1月至2012年4月期间接受μsAL激光治疗小型AMN的所有患者进行回顾性分析。由两名独立的皮肤科医生分析治疗前后的面部照片和单个病变的照片，以评估清除程度和并发症。对患者进行电话访谈，以评估他们对该手术的满意度。
共纳入18例患者的53个病变。7/18（38.9%）的患者获得“优秀”结果。没有患者获得“轻度”或“差”的结果。治疗后4周，49/53（92.5%）完全清除，14/53（26.4%）报告有轻度萎缩，11/53（20.8%）报告有轻度炎症后色素减退。大多数病变的并发症可忽略不计。9/18（50%）认为该手术“优秀”，所有患者均表示会向寻求去除面部小型AMN的朋友推荐该手术。
μsAL是去除面部小型AMN的有效方法。
