Study Overview

Brief Summary

  • To investigate the benefit of epidermal cooling on the incidence of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation after laser irradiation

Detailed Description

  • 70% incidence of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation has been reported following a Q-switched nd:YAG laser treatment of acquired bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules.
  • We assumed that epidermal cooling may minimize the non-specific injury to the epidermis caused during laser irradiation, leading to the decreased incidence of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
