A Comparison of Efficacy and Safety of Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser and Fractional Er:YAG Laser for the Treatment of Xanthelasma Palpebrarum: A Two-Center Randomized Split-Face Controlled Trial

A Practical Review of the Management of Xanthelasma palpebrarum

“…No differences in complications or recurrence rates were reported between these two modalities. 32 Although CO 2 laser was no different than 70% TCA in lesion clearance, it was more effective than 30% to 50% TCA. Likewise, 70% TCA was more effective than 35% and 50% TCA strengths.…”

“…Thirty studies reported outcomes of laser therapies, including carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) (n = 11), [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] erbiumdoped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) (n = 7), [26][27][28][29][30][31][32] neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG; n = 6), 31,[33][34][35][36][37] argon (n = 4), 30,[38][39][40] pulsed dye (n = 2), 41,42 diode (n = 1), 43 and potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) (n = 1) 44 lasers.…”

Comparison of the efficacy and safety of continuous CO2 laser and 1064 nm Q‐switched Nd:YAG Laser for the treatment of xanthelasma palpebrarum

“…The majority of cases are reported from Europe and North America. [1][2][3] Here, we describe a case of MPXV infection with the unusual clinical presentation of progressing painful lymphangitis and extensive penile edema. A 41-year-old HIV-negative MSM presented in July 2022 with a band-like erythema on the dorsum of the penis.…”

“…injection of 2-4 ml of xylocaine 5 mg/ml. Multiple passes of Nd: YAG laser (Medlite C6â, Cynosure, Hicksville, New York) with a frequency of 10 Hz, 3 mm spot size, and fluency of 6-10 J/cm 2 were performed. The endpoint was punctate bleeding.…”

“…However, downtime can be longer and its large thermal zone increases the risk of complications. 2 In 2008, Fusade first reported excellent results in eight out of 11 XP patients after a session of QS Nd:YAG. 3 In subsequent studies, however, the efficacy of Nd:…”
