✦ Synopsis

Background and objectives:

The 585-nm pulsed-dye laser and the 1,450-nm diode laser have been found effective for the treatment of mild-to-moderate inflammatory facial acne. this study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combined treatment with the 595-nm pulsed-dye laser and the 1,450-nm diode laser for inflammatory facial acne.

Study design/materials and methods:

Fifteen patients with inflammatory facial acne were treated with a combination of the 595-nm pulsed-dye laser and the 1,450-nm diode laser. patients' subjective response to treatment was evaluated regarding improvement in acne, acne scarring, oiliness, and redness of the skin.

Results:

All patients had reductions in acne lesion counts. mean lesion counts decreased 52% (p < 0.01), 63% (p < 0.01), and 84% (p < 0.01) after one, two, and three treatments, respectively. patients described moderate-to-marked improvement in acne, acne scarring, and post-inflammatory erythema. adverse effects were limited to mild, transient erythema.

Conclusions:

The combination of the 595-nm pulsed-dye laser and the 1,450-nm diode laser is safe and effective for the treatment of inflammatory facial acne, acne scarring, and post-inflammatory erythema.
