“…Thus, the optimal available laser appears theoretically to be the 532 nm QS laser. Although PDL was initially reported for treating stasis dermatosis, latter reports emphasized the usefulness of QS 532, 694 and 755 nm lasers in several indications such as postsclerotherapy hyperpigmentation, stasis dermatitis, Kaposi sarcoma pigmentary sequelae, intravenous iron extravasation and cutaneous siderosis following intramuscular iron injection . Isolated success for stasis dermatosis has also been reported using an intense pulsed light .…”

Background Lasers and intense pulsed light sources (IPLS) are proposed for the treatment of many pigmentary disorders. They are sometimes considered as magic tools able to remove any type of lesions. Although being the best option for several hyperpigmented lesions, they can also worsen some conditions and have potential side‐effects. Objective The aim of this review was to give evidence‐based recommendations for the use of lasers and IPLS in the treatment of hyperpigmented lesions. Methods These recommendations were produced for the European Society of Laser Dermatology by a consensus panel made up of experts in the field of pigment laser surgery. Recommendations on the use of lasers and light treatments were made based on the quality of evidence for efficacy, safety, tolerability, cosmetic outcome, patient satisfaction/preference and, where appropriate, on the experts' opinion. Results Lasers and IPLS are very effective for treating many hyperpigmented lesions such as lentigos, dermal hypermelanocytosis or heavy metal depositions. In the other hand, they have to be considered with great caution for other disorders, such as café au lait macules, melasma or postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. After making the correct diagnosis, if lasers or IPLS are indicated, the optimal wavelengths and parameters will be chosen taking into account the skin phototype, origin and depth of the target pigments. Conclusion Although potentially very effective, lasers and IPLS cannot be proposed for all types of hyperpigmented lesions. In all cases, precise recognition of the disorder is mandatory for choosing between these devices and other therapeutic approaches.

“…Cutaneous siderosis is a type of exogenous dyschromia. It results from the extravasation of elemental iron from dermal or subcutaneous placement of an intramuscular or intravascular iron injection . The iron deposits in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue concentrate in dermal macrophages which aggregate perivascularly and periadnexally, with a special affinity for the eccrine glands .…”

“…A dermatology consultation resulted in the prescription of topical azelaic acid (twice daily) and thioglycolic acid (10 min every 10 days) without significant improvement; discolouration was noted to be persistent at 5 months. Case studies in adults suggest promising results from Q-switched laser therapy,4 5 although definitive treatment has not yet been identified.…”
