This review outlines current evidence and clinical experience surrounding laser treatments for dermatosis papulosa nigra, acne scars, photoaging, and hyperpigmentation, as well as nonsurgical fat-reduction techniques. Nonablative fractional (NAF) lasers and 1064-nm Nd:YAG devices demonstrate favorable safety profiles in SOC when appropriately applied. Postprocedural photoprotection and the use of topical melanogenesis inhibitors are key to minimizing pigmentary complications. Although early data support the use of ultrasound, radiofrequency, and magnetic-based contouring in SOC, more robust studies are needed.

It is used off label for all types of acne and has shown effectiveness for both facial and truncal acne. We recommend a starting dose of 100 mg/d, as most patients can tolerate it and it has superior effectiveness to lower doses. The most common adverse effects of spironolactone are lightheadedness; headache; and menstrual irregularities, which tend to be dose dependent and can be prevented or treated using combined oral contraceptives. Potassium monitoring is of low usefulness in young healthy women, and studies have not identified an association between spironolactone use and increased risk for cancer.
