Abstract

Background and Design: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a light system of 500-1200 nm wavelength which is used for hair removal and non- ablative skin resurfacing as well as for the treatment of hyperpigmentation and superficial vascular lesions. The mechanism of action is thought to be the focal epidermal coagulation due to selective photothermolysis in the epidermal keratinocytes and melanocytes. A variety of laser systems can be used in the treatment of solar lentigo. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of IPL in solar lentigo. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with the diagnosis of solar lentigo in our Cosmetology Unit from March 2007 to November 2010. There were 139 files of patients who received clinical and dermoscopic diagnosis of solar lentigo and treated by IPL (L900 A&M). Informed consent was taken from all patients. Among them, 42 patients, who had attended regular follow-up visits and had pictures taken both before and after treatment, were included in the study. Results: A total of 52 lesions in 42 female and 1 male patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 42±9.6 (33-88) years. Thirty-seven lesions (51.9%) were on the cheek, 7 lesions (13.5%) were on the zygoma, 6 lesions (11.5%) were on the chin, 4 lesions (7.7%) were on the hands, 4 lesions (7.7%) were on the forehead, 2 lesions (3.8%) were on the nose, and 2 lesions (3.8%) were on the forearm. The mean number of sessions was 3.28, ranging between 1 and 7. After treatment, more than 75% improvement was observed in 57.7% of the lesions, 50-75% in 17.3% of the lesions, 25-50% in 17.3% of the lesions, and less than 25% improvement was obtained in 7.7% of the lesions. Conclusion: According to the results of our work, IPL can be considered to be an effective, cheap and safe method in terms of its side effects in the treatment of solar lentigo.

Özet

Giriş: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL); epilasyon, hiperpigmentasyon, non-ablatif deri yenileme, yüzeyel vasküler lezyonların tedavisinde kullanılan, dalga boyu 500-1200 nm arasında değişen bir ışık sistemidir. IPLnin etki mekanizmasının epidermal keratinosit ve melanositlerdeki selektif fototermolize bağlı gerçekleşen fokal epidermal koagülasyon olduğu düşünülmektedir. Solar lentigo tedavisinde çeşitli lazer sistemleri kullanılabilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı solar lentigoda IPL nin etkinliğini araştırmaktır. Yöntem ve Araçlar: Kozmetoloji Ünitesinin Mart 2007-Kasım 2010 tarihleri arasındaki arşivi solar lentigo tanılı olgular için retrospektif olarak tarandı. Klinik ve dermoskopik olarak solar lentigo tanısı almış ve IPL (L900 A&M IPL) tedavisi uygulanmış 139 hasta dosyası incelendi. İşlem öncesinde bilgilendirilmiş, onamları alınmıştı. Bunlar arasından tedavi öncesi ve sonrasında fotoğrafları çekilmiş, kontrollerine düzenli gelmiş olan 42 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 41 kadın, 1 erkek toplam 42 hastanın 52 lezyonu alındı. Hastaların yaş ortalamaları 42±9,6, yaş aralığı 33-80 idi. Lezyonların 27si (%51,9) yanakta, 7si (%13,5) zigomatik alanda, 6sı (%11,5) çenede, 4ü (%7,7) alında, 4ü (%7,7) el sırtında, 2si (%3,8) burunda, 2si (%3,8) kolda yerleşim göstermekteydi. IPL seans sayısı 1-7 seans (ort:3,28) arasında değişmekteydi. Tedavi sonrası iyileşme 30 lezyonda (%57,7) %75 üzerinde, 9 lezyonda (%17,3) %50-75 arası, 9 lezyonda (%17,3) %25-50 arası, 4 lezyonda (%7,7) %25 altındaydı. Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonuçlarına göre, IPL, solar lentigo tedavisinde etkili, ucuz ve yan etki açısından güvenli bir yöntem olarak kabul edilebilir. (Türk­derm 2014; 48: 39-42)
