Abstract
Objective To study the feasibility of joint phototherapy in the treatment of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and non-drug therapy in clinical popularization value of 1064 nm Q-switched laser in combination with low energy intense pulsed noncoherent light for secondary pigmentation. Methods A total of 128 patients with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation were randomly divided into 3 groups according to different treatments: first group (42 cases) was subjected to low energy 1064 nm Q-switched laser treatment; second group (40 cases) had intense pulsed light treatment; third group (46 cases) had low energy 1064 nm Q-switched laser plus intense pulsed light therapy. Results After treating for 6 times, the effective rates of intense pulsed light and Q laser were 50% (20/40) and 52.4% (22/42), respectively, without statistical significance between two groups (P>0.05). Effective rate of the third group was 73.9% (34/46), with significant difference (P<0.05), compared with the first two groups. Conclusions For those who refuse any drug treatment, low energy 1064 nm Q-switched laser with intense pulsed light therapy is an effective option to facial post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Furthermore, it has obvious and safe effect without complications and deserves popularization. Key words: Q-switched laser; Intense pulsed light; Perpigmentation
