“…In the literature, it was found that PDL treatment decreased the density of demodex in rosacea patients 7 . It was shown in a case report that Nd: YAG laser treatment decreased the demodex density 13 . In our study, we found a significant decrease in the demodex density in the rosacea patients with pro‐yellow laser treatment; this finding was the first in the literature.…”

Background:The pro-yellow laser is a yellow light wavelength (577-nm) laser system.Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disorder that occurs with facial flushing, erythema, papules, pustules, and telangiectasia. Demodex parasites (Demodex folliculorum and brevis) also play a role in the pathogenesis of rosacea. Aim:The aim of our study is to evaluate the effect of pro-yellow laser on demodex density (Dd) in patients with rosacea.Patients/Methods: This retrospective study was planned for the patients with rosacea whose demodex mite densities were examined and treated with pro-yellow laser and were evaluated between 2019 and 2020 in the cosmetology unit. The laser light was applied at a dose of 20 J/cm 2 in the scanner mode (the 80% coverage) in all the patients. The demodex density per cm 2 was routinely evaluated before the treatment, and the demodex density values in the fourth week after the treatment were recorded from the patients' files.Results: There were 27 females (79.4%) and seven males (20.6%) evaluated in the study. While the demodex density was 18.1 ± 10.7 (min: 0-max: 48, Q1:12-Q3:22) per cm 2 before the pro-yellow laser treatment in the cases, the demodex density was 10.2 ± 7.9 (min: 0-max: 30, Q1:4.75-Q3:12) per cm 2 in the fourth week after the treatment. After the pro-yellow laser treatment, the demodex intensity decreased significantly compared to before the laser treatment (p = 0.001). There was no significant correlation between the decrease in the density of the demodex mite and the success of the treatment (p = 0.46). Conclusion:This is the first study in the literature investigating the change in demodex density in rosacea patients treated with pro-yellow laser therapy. In this study, it was shown that pro-yellow laser treatment is effective in reducing the density of demodex.
