Use of topic and laser therapy in correction of melanine skin hyperpigmentations

Abstract

Various types of hyperpigmentation are widely spread cause of visit to dermatologist and cosmetologist. Mostly a cosmetic defect, hyperpigmentation could decrease a life quality in patients. The article covers main contemporary methods to correct non-tumorous melanine skin hyperpigmentations, effective combinations of some therapeutic modalities. Observation included 32 patients with various clinical forms of nontumorous melanine skin hyperpigmentations, aged 27 to 68 years. The lesion was localized on face, decollete area and back of hands in 26 (81.2%) patients, in 6 (18.7%) patients - on trunk or extremities. The patients underwent local therapy with medications including glycolic acid, ascorbic acid and liquorice extract as a monotherapy, and combined with laser therapy (755 nm). Local therapy with medications including glycolic acid, ascorbic acid and liquorice extract as a monotherapy, and combined with laser therapy (755 nm) demonstrated high efficiency and could be considered as a safe method of esthetic correction of hyperpigmentation, but combined therapy appeared considerably more therapeutically effective.
