Pigmentation and Scaring Management after Hypodermoclysis, a Case Report

Abstract

Hypodermoclysis is the continuous subcutaneous infusion of a parenteral solution into dermal tissue, which is typically associated with skin lesions and cosmetic issues in the majority of patients. Scarring and pigmentation are two of the potential skin lesions after hypodermoclysis. The way skin diseases and cosmetic issues are treated has altered dramatically as a result of laser technology. This is the first article to our knowledge that describes the treatment of pigmentation and scarring produced by Hypodermoclysis cutaneous damage by using laser treatment. It was vital to select the appropriate endpoint, technology, and configuration parameters. The lesion was completely resolved after five months of treatment with four laser sessions. The first session used a fractional Er-Yag laser to perform cold ablation. The remaining sessions used 1064 and 585 nm Nd-Yag Q-switch lasers to operate in the nanosecond region. To minimize the danger of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), the treated region was prepped between laser treatments with 4% hydroquinone (HQ) cream. Our protocol may reduce scars and pigmentation while minimizing adverse effects and downtime.

The use of carbon dioxide and intense pulsed light laser for the treatment of hypertrophic burn scars: A case series

“…The VL applicator is useful for treatment of “blue or purple” vessels which are located deeper in the epidermis and often slightly larger. 32 It can also be used to treat notable brown pigmentation caused by sun damage. 32 If the patient's natural skin colour is pink, the vessels are often smaller and located closer to the skin surface and would respond better to the PR handpiece.…”

“…The absorption coefficient, scattering coefficient, and anisotropy factor are listed in the ESI† Data S1. 28–30,37–40…”

“…Remarkable light scattering and absorption 28 occur in skin, mostly in the stratum corneum. 29,30 To compensate for the energy loss in the stratum corneum, efficient PDT therapy requires high light irradiance, usually up to 150 mW cm −2 . 31 Such a high irradiance causes immediate pain, which can be perceived by almost all patients, and in many cases, becomes unbearable.…”
