dc.description.abstract | Background: Aggravated melasma after treatment is vulnerable to stimulation, can easily deteriorate, and may be distressing without proper management. Objective: To retrospectively assess the effectiveness and safety of combination therapy using low-fluence Q-switched neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser (QSNY) and long-pulse Nd:YAG laser (LPNY) (dual toning) in patients with rebound melasma. Materials and methods: A total of 30 patients with aggravated melasma after previous therapy who were treated with dual toning were enrolled. A total of 10 sessions were conducted at 1-week intervals, followed by maintenance treatment. The results were evaluated using the modified Melasma Area and Severity Index (mMASI) and the physician's global assessment (PGA) before and 2 months after completing the 10 treatment sessions. Results: The baseline mMASI was 10.48 +/- 3.64, which significantly decreased to 3.22 +/- 1.45 2 months after completing the 10 treatment sessions (p <0.001). Twenty-four patients (80%) had PGA grade 4 (76-100% improvement) and 6 patients (20%) had PGA grade 3 (51-75% improvement). Conclusion: Dual toning may be a safe and effective salvage treatment for patients with aggravated melasma after previous treatment. LPNY may stabilize melasma activity to prevent rebound hyperpigmentation via dermal remodeling. | - |
