“…Usually, as a nondrug therapy, laser therapy is used, especially using a CO 2 laser (10.6 μm) with continuous wave 2 but also a Ho:YAG laser. According to previous studies, 3 treatment with a continues wave CO 2 laser can result in hypertrophic and atrophic scars. As hypertrophic scars can develop 2 months after therapy, the authors of Ref.…”

This paper presents a newly developed dermatological laser (with a central wavelength 975 nm) for application in therapies requiring deep penetration of tissue, e.g., cutaneous (dermal) neurofibroma (von Recklinghausen disease) and hemangiomas. This laser can work either in pulses or continues wave mode. Laser radiation is transmitted toward the application region by optical fiber with a diameter of 0.6 mm. The compact design of the laser facilitates its transport and increases the comfort of use.

“…The risk of prolonged hyperemia on the face and hypertrophic scarring after CO 2 laser treatment pushed us to choose dermabrasion treatment. 10 However, laser treatment may also be a treatment modality for these patients. Recently, shave excision combined with an ND:YAG laser for the treatment of multiple cutaneous neurofibromas in the body (except the face) has been used with satisfactory results and documented by Kim and colleagues.…”

Background: Neurofibromatosis may present with different skin lesions. Disfiguring lesions on the face might be challenging for the surgeon or clinician to correct and may have adverse effects on patients' social lives, especially in young women.Objective: To present the dermabrasion technique combined with serial excisions of a deeper accompanying lesion to treat superficial facial lesions in a young neurofibromatosis patient.Methods: Dermabrasion was applied to superficial lesions on the face, and staged excision was applied to the deeper lesion located on the forehead. Results:We obtained high patient satisfaction with the result. The deep lesion was excised totally, and superficial lesions were decreased with dermabrasion.Conclusion: Dermabrasion may become a good alternative in cases of neurofibromatosis with superficial facial lesions.Contexte: La neurofibromatose peut se manifester sous diffé rentes formes de lé sions cutané es. Certaines abîment le visage et peuvent se ré vé ler difficiles à corriger par le chirurgien ou le clinicien, sans compter qu'elles peuvent avoir des ré percussions dé favorables sur la vie sociale, notamment celle des jeunes filles.Objectif: L'é tude visait à pré senter une technique de dermabrasion, suivie d'une sé rie d'excisions visant à effacer une lé sion plus profonde dans le traitement de lé sions superficielles de la face chez une jeune patiente atteinte de neurofibromatose.Mé thode: La dermabrasion a é té appliqué e aux lé sions superficielles de la face, et l'excision en plusieurs temps, à la lé sion plus profonde situé e sur le front.Ré sultats: Les ré sultats obtenus ont donné grande satisfaction à la patiente. La lé sion profonde a é té complè tement effacé e, et les lé sions superficielles ont é té estompé es par la dermabrasion.Conclusion: La dermabrasion peut se ré vé ler une bonne solution de rechange dans les cas de neurofibromatose s'accompagnant de lé sions superficielles de la face.
