However, the prominent skin discolouration is troublesome for patients, prompting them to seek remedies for quick resolution. We highlight the importance of using long pulsed NdYAG laser as a treatment modality to speed the resolution of ecchymoses from 14 days to 24-48 hr in skin-type V-VI with negligible side effects, as its potential use is not widely known. We report on the first successful case series using this laser in skin-type V-VI.Objectives: To assess the efficacy of long-pulsed NdYAG laser in early resolution of ecchymoses.Methods: Six adults with skin types IV-VI with at least one ecchymosis were enrolled in the study. Subjects received treatment with the vascular mode 1064 nm long-pulsed NdYAG laser; (ALMA-Q multifunctional Q-switched ALMA laser). The number of treatment sessions varied from one to two at 3-day intervals. Photographs were taken pre-treatment, at 72 h, and 5 days post-treatment.Results: In all six subjects, accelerated resolution of the treated bruise was evident. Treated lesions showed an average improvement of 80% after 72 h of treatment. After one week of treatment, all treated bruises completely disappeared (100%). No adverse effects were noted in any of the patients with no pain during the treatment sessions.Limitations: Small sample size.Conclusion: Our findings show this laser is safe and effective for rapidly resolving ecchymoses, reducing patient downtime without experiencing color changes when treated promptly.","PeriodicalId":54852,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143460858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Parameters such as treatment protocols, patient demographics, and outcome measures were analyzed to assess the laser's therapeutic associations. The literature search composed of clinical trials or review articles. Studies were additionally identified by searching reference lists of included articles. Only articles in English were utilized for this review.Results: The 675 nm laser demonstrates efficacy in addressing aging-related skin changes, including facial rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction, with significant improvement observed in skin texture and collagen remodeling. Additionally, the laser exhibits promising outcomes in treating melasma and hyperpigmentation disorders, acne vulgaris, and striae distensae, offering selective damage to target tissues with minimal adverse effects.Conclusions: The 675 nm laser presents a versatile and innovative therapeutic option in dermatology, offering noninvasive treatment modalities for various health and cosmetic concerns. Further research and clinical trials are warranted to optimize treatment protocols and fully elucidate its therapeutic potential in diverse patient populations.","PeriodicalId":54852,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143442865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We found that both AFL group and NAFL group showed decreased 4-point scale and ECCA scores for respective V, U, M types, but there was no statistically difference between the two groups. NAFL group showed lower pain score, less oozing and crusting, and shorter duration of the adverse effects as well. The average satisfaction score was higher in NAFL group, although there was no statistically significance. In conclusion, consecutive triple NAFL treatment could approach a single AFL treatment for atrophic acne scars, while NAFL treatment causes less pain and fewer adverse events.","PeriodicalId":54852,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143392488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The initial diagnosis was \"skin necrosis after autologous fat grafting for augmentation rhinoplasty.\" In addition to the conventional treatment, topical oxygen therapy (TOT) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) injection were applied to the nasal wounds area.
