Possibilities of laser technology in correction of non-tumor melanin hyperpigmentation of anogenital region skin

Abstract

Relevance. Laser technologies are widely used in various fields of medicine and are one of the most dynamically developing areas of aesthetic guineaology. In recent years, the number of patients who place high demands on aesthetics of the anogenital area has been steadily increasing. The article briefly highlights modern views on the main causes of non-tumor melanin hyperpigmentation of the genital skin, as well as examines various types of laser and light therapy and effective combinations of some treatment methods. Materials and methods. The study included 30 female patients aged from 25 to 45 years with non-tumor hyperpigmentation of the skin of the anogenital region, I-III phototype of the skin. All patients were divided into two equal groups of 15 people depending on the therapy. The patients underwent hyperpigmentation therapy with a neodymium laser (1,064 nm) with a low fluence value and an alexandrite laser (755 nm) with a low fluence value. A total of five procedures were performed at weekly intervals. The results of the study. Therapy with a neodymium laser (1,064 nm) and an alexandrite laser (755 nm) with low fluence was equally effective in the treatment of non-tumor melanin hyperpigmentation of the skin of the anogenital region and showed a high safety profile.
