Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a common hereditary keratinization disorder. Keratosis pilaris rubra and KP atrophicans faciei are less frequent variants of the disease. Topical treatments often yield ineffective and temporary results.
The objective of this article is to review and assess all the studies that used light and laser devices to treat KP and its variants.
On January 15, 2017, an online search of the MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane databases was performed using the following combination of keywords: "keratosis pilaris" and "treatment."
Seventeen studies related to light and laser treatments were retained for analysis. The total number of treated patients was 175. Of which, 22 patients had KP atrophicans faciei, 17 patients had KP rubra, and 136 patients had KP.
Light and laser devices have been emerging as promising therapeutic options for a disfiguring disease that still lacks, until today, an effective long-term treatment.
毛发角化病(KP)是一种常见的遗传性角化疾病。红棘皮病性毛发角化病和颜面进行性毛囊角化病是该病较少见的变异型。局部治疗通常效果不佳且持续时间短。
本文旨在回顾和评估所有使用光和激光设备治疗 KP 及其变异型的研究。
2017 年 1 月 15 日,我们对 MEDLINE、Embase 和 Cochrane 数据库进行了在线检索,使用了以下关键词组合:“毛发角化病”和“治疗”。
共保留了 17 项与光和激光治疗相关的研究进行分析。治疗患者总数为 175 例。其中,22 例为颜面进行性毛囊角化病,17 例为红棘皮病性毛发角化病,136 例为毛发角化病。
光和激光设备已成为一种有前途的治疗方法,可用于治疗这种仍缺乏有效长期治疗方法的毁容性疾病。
