“…There are various light and laser systems including PDL, and intense pulse light (IPL), KTP, and Nd: YAG are used for rosacea treatment. 3,12 In the literature, it was found that PDL treatment decreased the density of demodex in rosacea patients. 7 It was shown in a case report that Nd: YAG laser treatment decreased the demodex density.…”

“…577‐nm is the ideal wavelength in the treatment of vascular lesions and vascular malformations on the skin 1 . The pro‐yellow laser systems can be used in a wide range of indications such as facial erythema, facial telangiectasia, port wine stain nevus, rosacea, poikiloderma civatte, and Becker's nevus 2–4 . Some of these indications are clinical lesions in the vascular pattern; some are related to the factors that trigger vascularity, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in etiopathogenesis 1–4 …”

Background:The pro-yellow laser is a yellow light wavelength (577-nm) laser system.Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disorder that occurs with facial flushing, erythema, papules, pustules, and telangiectasia. Demodex parasites (Demodex folliculorum and brevis) also play a role in the pathogenesis of rosacea. Aim:The aim of our study is to evaluate the effect of pro-yellow laser on demodex density (Dd) in patients with rosacea.Patients/Methods: This retrospective study was planned for the patients with rosacea whose demodex mite densities were examined and treated with pro-yellow laser and were evaluated between 2019 and 2020 in the cosmetology unit. The laser light was applied at a dose of 20 J/cm 2 in the scanner mode (the 80% coverage) in all the patients. The demodex density per cm 2 was routinely evaluated before the treatment, and the demodex density values in the fourth week after the treatment were recorded from the patients' files.Results: There were 27 females (79.4%) and seven males (20.6%) evaluated in the study. While the demodex density was 18.1 ± 10.7 (min: 0-max: 48, Q1:12-Q3:22) per cm 2 before the pro-yellow laser treatment in the cases, the demodex density was 10.2 ± 7.9 (min: 0-max: 30, Q1:4.75-Q3:12) per cm 2 in the fourth week after the treatment. After the pro-yellow laser treatment, the demodex intensity decreased significantly compared to before the laser treatment (p = 0.001). There was no significant correlation between the decrease in the density of the demodex mite and the success of the treatment (p = 0.46). Conclusion:This is the first study in the literature investigating the change in demodex density in rosacea patients treated with pro-yellow laser therapy. In this study, it was shown that pro-yellow laser treatment is effective in reducing the density of demodex.

“…To the best of our knowledge, we did not find a study on pro‐yellow laser treatment in poikiloderma of Civatte. Temiz et al reported a case treated effectively with pro‐yellow laser treatment, still, they emphasized that clinical studies were needed to clarify the details of this treatment method 2 …”

“…However, cumulative sun and ultraviolet radiation exposure are the most important contributing factors along with genetics, hormonal changes, fragrances, and cosmetics 1 . Several treatment methods including topical hydroquinones, electrocoagulation, cryotherapy, chemical peeling, lasers [pulsed dye lasers (PDL), potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) lasers, argon lasers], and intense pulsed light (IPL) have been used for the treatment of the disease, 2 yet there is no standard treatment guideline.…”

Background Although many laser systems have been used in the treatment for Poikiloderma of Civatte (POC), there is no standard treatment guideline. Objectives We aimed to present our data on the efficacy and safety of single‐session pro‐yellow laser treatment for POC. Methods The study included 14 patients treated with pro‐yellow laser (QuadroStarPRO YELLOW® Asclepion Laser Technologies, Germany) between 2017 and 2019. Treatment had been applied in two passes during the same session; a general pass with 22 j/cm2 over the whole lesion, then, one more pass only on the telangiectatic lesions with 18 j/cm2 fluence. They were evaluated based on their pictures taken before and 4 weeks after the treatment and scored by a 4‐item scoring in terms of the improvement (0:no change, 1:1%–25% mild, 2:26%–50% moderate, 3:51%–75% well, and 4:76%–100% excellent improvement). Results The mean age of the patients (1 female, 13 males) was 59.64 ± 8.16 years. Five patients had Fitzpatrick‐2 and 9 patients had Fitzpatrick‐3 skin types. Six patients had mild, 8 patients had moderate improvement, one of them has been illustrated in Figure 1. Sixty‐minute mild erythema was the only adverse effect observed. Conclusions We think that pro‐yellow laser is a good treatment option for POC treatment. Repeated sessions are required for the complete healing of the lesions, while one single session has proved to be deficient. We observed that it was a quite safe treatment option, especially for the neck region, which was inclined to scarring and atrophy development.

“…1 Pro-yellow laser treatment is successfully used in vascular disorders. 9 Herein, we applied 577-nm pro-yellow laser monotherapy to our patient with Becker's nevus, assuming that BN has a vascular component. After two sessions of pro-yellow laser therapy, a significant improvement was observed in the hyperpigmentation of the lesion (Figure 1).…”
