“…Review of literature revealed that it is difficult to find a single modality effective in all types of acne scars. It is reported that Nd-YAG laser is most effective in superficial boxcar and rolling scars (19). Furthermore, Er-YAG is most effective in ice pick scars (20), whereas the dual mode is effective in rolling and deep boxcar scars (21,22).…”

“…Alexis recommended the use of the 1,550 nm nonablative fractional erbium laser (Fraxel 1,500; Solta Medical Inc., Hayward, CA, USA) for melasma with the following parameters: 15 mJ and 125 MTZ per turn, eight times in total, with time for cooling the skin between turns . There are reports concerning the use of the laser Nd:YAG 1,064 nm with a low pulse for nonablative resurfacing in patients of phototypes V and VI, with a low risk of side effects …”

Characteristics and management of Asian skin

et al. 2018

Color differences in skin are due to the amount and distribution of epidermal melanin. The number of melanocytes is almost the same in all skin types, but higher phototypes exhibit more melanocytes, which produce more melanin and melanosomes that are individually distributed throughout the keratinocyte layers. This characteristic ensures a natural, significant photoprotection in darker skins. Asians are a population with various skin phototypes, ranging from type III to IV Fitzpatrick's classification in Chinese and Japanese to type IV and V in Indian and Pakistani people. Asian skin tends to present postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, melasma, lentigines and freckles, nevus of Ota, and Hori nevus. The main skin diseases reported in Asians are acne, atopic dermatitis, and viral infections. Wrinkles and skin thickness, early signs of aging in Caucasians, are less evident in Asian skin. However, pigmentary changes occur earlier. Additionally, this ethnic population is increasing worldwide. The aim of this study is to show the importance of studying the characteristics of Asian skin for the better management of skin diseases in this population, which are being increasingly observed in doctor's offices. Based on a broad review of the medical literature, we report the characteristics of Asian skin, as well as some dyschromias and common skin disorders in this ethnic group. The objective of the article is to study the characteristics of Asian skin and differences in relation to other ethnic groups to achieve improved clinical and cosmetic management of diseases and other skin disorders. This article will discuss the concept of beauty in different ethnic groups, treatments with lasers and other light sources, and cosmiatric treatments in Asian skin. An extensive review of the literature was performed using the databases Scielo and Bireme, from Medline and Lilacs sources, over the last 50 years. The keywords used were as follows: Asian skin, ethnic skin, melanin. Due to the peculiarities of each ethnic group, this article demonstrates the importance of studying the characteristics of Asian skin to elucidate improved cosmiatric approaches for these patients.

“…The 1,064 nanometer (nm) neodymium yttrium‐aluminum‐garnet (Nd:YAG) laser has shown significant promise for scar revision in small series , and post treatment biopsies have shown significant increases in dermal collagen . Despite this, there are no prospective, randomized trials investigating the use of this laser in the treatment of post‐surgical scarring.…”

Split face evaluation of long‐pulsed non‐ablative 1,064 nm Nd:YAG laser for treatment of direct browplasty scars

et al. 2016

The 1,064 nm Nd:YAG laser provided significant improvement in scar cosmesis after direct browplasty, as rated by subject self-report, but not by masked observers, and appears to be a useful tool for increasing satisfaction among those dissatisfied with direct browplasty scars. Side effects-including erythema, edema, and discomfort-were transient and universally rated as mild to moderate. Lasers Surg. Med. 48:742-747, 2016. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
