“…Intense pulsed light sources operate on the principle of selective photothermolysis, can be used in a wide variety of conditions (e.g., telangiectases, spider nevi; superficial pigmentary changes; and epilation). 2 IPL was also used to treat some inflammatory skin diseases such as acne, 3 rosette acne, 4 etc. Psoriasis is also a chronic inflammatory skin disease.…”

Four patients with localized plaque psoriasis had used various systemic drugs along with topical cream. However, their skin lesions recurred, and the disease was refractory. After 2 weeks of discontinuation of oral and external medication, they were given three consecutive irradiation treatments with intense pulsed light once every 2 weeks for a 6-week period. After treating for 6 weeks, the erythema colors of the patients were evidently darkened, the scales were evidently reduced, and the skin lesions were significantly thinner or even flattened. The treatment was satisfactory, without occurrence of severe adverse reactions.

Melanin is an amino acid derivative produced by melanocyte through a series of enzymatic reactions using tyrosinase as substrate. Human skin and hair color is also closely related to melanin, so understanding the mechanisms and proteins that produce melanin is very important. There are many proteins involved in the process of melanin expression, For example, proteins involved in melanin formation such as p53, HNF-1α (Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1α), SOX10 (Sry-related HMg-Box gene 10) and pax3 (paired box gene 3), MC1R(Melanocortin 1 Receptor), MITF (Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor), TYR (tyrosinase), TYRP1 (tyrosinase-related protein-1), TYRP2 (tyrosinase-related protein-2), and can be regulated by changing their content to control the production rate of melanin. Others, such as OA1 (ocular albinism type 1), Par-2 (protease-activated receptor 2) and Mlph (Melanophilin), have been found to control the transfer rate of melanosomes from melanocytes to keratinocytes, and regulate the amount of human epidermal melanin to control the depth of human skin color. In addition to the above proteins, there are other protein families also involved in the process of melanin expression, such as BLOC, Rab and Rho. This article reviews the origin of melanocytes, the related proteins affecting melanin and the basic causes of related gene mutations. In addition, we also summarized the active ingredients of 5 popular whitening cosmetics and their mechanisms of action.
