“…Multiple studies have demonstrated that the PDL has been successful in treating a variety of nonvascular lesions and might therefore be useful in the treatment of GA. Keloidal and hypertrophic scars have been treated with PDL, with improvement in the raised nature of the scars, associated erythema, and pain or pruritus 11–16 . Mollusca contagiosa, 17 elastosis perforans serpiginosa, 18 nodular amyloidosis, 19 pyogenic granuloma, 20 facial acne scars, 21 angiofibromas, 22 striae, 23–25 warts, 26–29 and psoriasis 30–32 have all responded, albeit with variable success. Recently, Gira and colleaguesdemonstrated increased levels of epidermal expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in keloids.…”

Localized granuloma annulare may be difficult to manage, presenting a therapeutic challenge. Thorough understanding of available treatment options, their relative efficacies, and risks of complication can facilitate successful management of this chronic disease. Pulsed dye laser therapy may be an effective and relatively safe treatment option for erythematous granuloma annulare, although prospective studies in additional patients would be desirable. Improvement of the condition in a single patient does not imply that others might improve, and variability in response is more likely.

“…Recalcitrant warts, not responding to first‐line therapies, are a frustrating problem with high recurrence rates, painful treatments and only modest treatment results . During the last decade pulsed‐dye laser (PDL) therapy has emerged as a safe and efficacious treatment for these warts, with variable success rates (48–95%) . We summarized treatment outcomes of 11 studies on the treatment of recalcitrant warts with PDL therapy in Table .…”

A prospective, non-blinded, non-randomized study on 120 wart patients treated with pulsed dye laser was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pulsed dye laser treatment for viral warts and to demonstrate the proper application and effective technique of this method. The overall clearance rate was 49.5%. The clearance rates of flat warts, periungual warts, plantar warts and common warts were 67.6%, 51.1%, 47.6% and 44.3%, respectively. Overall, the response rates of pediatric warts, recalcitrant warts and old warts were superior to those of adult warts, simple warts and non-old warts, respectively; however, those trends were not statistically significant. We concluded that pulsed dye laser treatment is a safe, tolerable and relatively effective treatment method for viral warts. Pulsed dye laser treatment may be a more efficacious method for flat warts and recalcitrant periungual warts, and it can be an effective modality for newly-developed warts. The highest clearance rate was noted at a fluence of 9.5 J/cm2 (P < or = 0.05) and it is recommended that practitioners perform pulsed dye laser treatments for viral warts at the fluences of 9.0-9.5 J/cm2. A replacement of pulsed dye laser treatment should be considered unless prominent improvement is observed after three treatment sessions.
