Lasers have come up as the newest therapeutic modality in dermatological conditions including melasma. In this article, as a group of experts from Pigmentary Disorders Society in collaboration with South Asian Pigmentary Disorders Forum (SPF), we have tried to discuss the lasers which have been used in melasma and formulate simple consensus guidelines. Following thorough literature search, we have summarised the rationale of using the lasers and the supporting evidences have also been provided. It is clear that laser cannot be the first line treatment for melasma. However, it can be used as an adjuvant therapy in resistant cases, provided the selection of patient and counselling has been done properly.
激光已成为包括黄褐斑在内的皮肤病最新治疗方式。在本文中,作为色素沉着紊乱协会的一组专家与南亚色素沉着紊乱论坛(SPF)合作,我们试图讨论用于黄褐斑的激光,并制定简单的共识指南。经过全面的文献检索,我们总结了使用激光的原理,并提供了支持证据。很明显,激光不能作为黄褐斑的一线治疗方法。然而,如果患者选择和咨询得当,它可以用作难治性病例的辅助治疗。
