Laser therapies can cause hyper- and hypopigmentation of the skin. There is little evidence in the literature of effective treatments for these types of problems in Fitzpatrick skin phototypes IV-VI. The main aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the effects of a new therapy that combines the application of electromagnetic fields and vacuum on a subject with Fitzpatrick skin phototype VI, who presented extensive, laser-induced facial dyschromia. The secondary aim is to test the effectiveness of a free imaging software for assessing skin pigmentation. : The level of improvement after therapy was evaluated, with a 5-point Likert scale, one month after the end of the treatment by the subject and by the doctor who performed the treatment, and by two blinded dermatologists. With the free software, a three-dimensional reconstruction of the treated area and the evaluation of the color distribution were performed. : Both the subject and the doctors involved in the study positively evaluated the effects of the treatment. The image analysis highlighted the homogenization of the skin color in the treated area. : The combination of electromagnetic fields and vacuum for dyschromia treatments appears promising. The new method of assessing melanin levels resulted particularly efficient.
激光疗法可导致皮肤色素沉着过度和色素沉着不足。在文献中,几乎没有证据表明针对 Fitzpatrick 皮肤光类型 IV - VI 的这类问题有有效的治疗方法。这项回顾性研究的主要目的是评估一种新疗法的效果,该疗法将电磁场和真空应用于一名 Fitzpatrick 皮肤光类型 VI 且出现广泛激光诱导面部色素异常的受试者。次要目的是测试一款免费成像软件评估皮肤色素沉着的有效性。在治疗结束一个月后,由受试者、进行治疗的医生以及两名不知情的皮肤科医生使用 5 点李克特量表评估治疗后的改善程度。使用该免费软件对治疗区域进行三维重建并评估颜色分布。参与研究的受试者和医生都对治疗效果给予了积极评价。图像分析突出了治疗区域皮肤颜色的均匀化。电磁场和真空联合用于色素异常治疗似乎很有前景。评估黑色素水平的新方法特别有效。
