Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a 1,064-nm ps Nd:YAG laser compared to a 1,064-nm Qs Nd:YAG laser for melasma treatment in an Asian population. The results showed that both laser treatments significantly improved the condition of the patients, with no significant difference between the two techniques. This suggests that a 1,064 nm ps Nd:YAG laser can be an effective alternative for melasma treatment.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of a series of laser treatments with very short, nanosecond pulses in the treatment of melasma in Caucasian women. They found that low-fluence 1064 nm QSNY laser is an effective, safe, and noninvasive method with long-term results in melasma treatment, showing significant improvement in pigmentation and erythema reduction, as well as improved skin conditions in patients even after one year of follow-up.

Summary: Background: Picosecond lasers have been proven effective and safe for melasma, but there are limited randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on this topic. The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of non-fractional picosecond Nd:YAG laser, non-fractional picosecond alexandrite laser, and 2% hydroquinone cream in the treatment of melasma.

Summary: This article reviews the efficacy and adverse events of low-fluence Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (LFQSNY) treatment for melasma, as well as its combination therapy with other treatment modalities. LFQSNY appears to be generally effective and safe for treating melasma compared to previous conventional therapies. However, adverse events such as mottled hypopigmentation and unwanted inflammation have been reported. Long-term follow-up results of LFQSNY in melasma are still lacking.

Summary: Recoil momentum from laser ablation process is the main source of thrust generation, influenced by laser parameters and target properties, which vary with wavelength. Different metal foils exhibit varying propulsion parameters with changes in laser energy and wavelength, affecting efficiency and specific impulse of laser ablation propulsion.

Summary: This study evaluated the macroscopic and histological changes in facial skin treated with a combined laser therapy. Results showed significant improvement in age-related changes in all areas of the face and confirmed structural changes in the epidermis and dermis through histology and immunohistochemistry. The dual-wavelength protocol has been found to provide excellent results for facial rejuvenation.

Summary: In this study, the effectiveness and safety of a low-fluence 1064 nm picosecond ND-YAG laser and a low-fluence PTP mode 1064 nm Q-switched ND-YAG laser were compared for the treatment of melasma. The results showed that both lasers led to a significant reduction in melasma severity, but the low-fluence 1064 nm picosecond ND-YAG laser group had better outcomes. Additionally, there were no significant differences in patient satisfaction and pain between the two laser treatments, and both methods were found to be safe without any adverse events.

Summary: This article evaluates and compares the efficacy and safety of 1565-nm non-ablative fractional laser (NAFL) and long-pulsed 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser (LPNY) in treating enlarged facial pores. The study finds that both lasers effectively treated enlarged facial pores and were well tolerated, with the side effects of LPNY being less severe than NAFL.

Summary: Picosecond laser has been proven to be a safe and effective treatment modality for various dermatologic indications, with evidence supporting its use in the treatment of benign pigmented lesions, photodamage, melasma, and scar revision. Further development of this technology is warranted to explore its full potential.
