Excerpt

Low fluence Q-switched Nd:YAG laser at fluences of 2.5∼4.5 J/cm² has gained attention in treatment of melasma [1, 2], as it penetrates deeper and delivers subthreshold energy targeting melanin particles within keratinocytes and dermal melanophages [3]. This led to good results but with occurrence of some adverse events such as mild linear depigmentation [4] or mottled hypopigmentation [5]. Using lower fluences as 0.8 to 1.6 J/cm² [6] or less number of passes [7] can avoid complications in melasma laser toning. Melasma can be assessed by dermoscopy, permitting the observation of its pigment and vascular components [8]. However; its use for follow-up of treatment has not been well established. …
