| Popis: | BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Picosecond lasers in dermatology were originally focused on optimizing the removal of unwanted tattoos. Subsequent advances in this technology have expanded its clinical indications to include treatment of benign pigmented lesions, photodamage, melasma, and scar revision. In this retrospective review, we evaluate a novel 730 nm picosecond titanium sapphire laser in treating benign pigmented lesions. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective review of all patients who presented to our institution between December 2019 and March 2020 for treatment of their benign pigmented lesions with a 730 nm picosecond titanium sapphire laser. All Fitzpatrick skin types (I-VI) were included. Absolute and relative evaluations were conducted by two blinded board-certified dermatologists using high-resolution photographic images. RESULTS Twenty-two of 64 patients satisfied inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients received 1.1 ± 0.3 treatment sessions. The absolute average pigmentation score prior to treatment was 2.04 ± 0.7 versus 1.39 ± 0.6 after treatment (P |
