Acne vulgaris is a common skin disease. Pharmacological modalities for treatment are proven to be efficacious but have limitations. Light therapy for acne vulgaris has shown promise in previous studies. This case report and its accompanying images show how a novel approach of visually augmented high fluence light therapy has been used to good effect.
A 26-year-old Caucasian woman with acne vulgaris resistant to treatment with topical therapy underwent three sessions of combination potassium titanyl phosphate laser (532 nm)/neodymium-doped: yttrium aluminum garnet laser (1064 nm) light therapy with visually augmented narrow spot size and high fluence. A 73% reduction in total inflammatory lesions was evident 6 months after the initial treatment.
This case report illustrates that there may be utility in this novel approach of narrow spot size, magnification-assisted, high fluence targeted combination laser therapy for inflammatory acne.
寻常痤疮是一种常见的皮肤病。治疗的药理学方法已被证明有效,但存在局限性。先前的研究表明,光疗对寻常痤疮有一定前景。本病例报告及其附带图像展示了一种视觉增强高能量光疗的新方法是如何取得良好效果的。
一名26岁的患有寻常痤疮且对局部治疗耐药的白种女性,接受了三次联合磷酸钛氧钾激光(532纳米)/掺钕钇铝石榴石激光(1064纳米)光疗,采用视觉增强的窄光斑尺寸和高能量。初始治疗6个月后,总炎性皮损明显减少了73%。
本病例报告表明,这种窄光斑尺寸、放大辅助、高能量靶向联合激光治疗炎性痤疮的新方法可能具有实用性。
