Abstract
A 55 year old Spanish patient, photo type III, wanted a cosmetic improvement of her forearms. She disliked the hyperpigmentation which made her look older.METHOD: After having tried several chemical peelings (50% glycolic acid plus 10% kojic acid followed by 15% MM TCA), there was no improvement in the patients's condition and it was decided to initiate intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment.RESULTS: Improvement was noted after the first session, with a slight pink coloration. At two months post treatment, we noted more than 90% clearance of the hyperpigmentation on the treated areas.CONCLUSION: This case report confirms that photorejuvenation, by treating hyperpigmented lesions with intense pulsed light source on extra‐facial zones can be very effective and safe.
