Treatment of Acanthosis nigricans of the axillae using a long-pulsed (5-msec) alexandrite laser.
Dermatologic Surgery : Official Publication for American Society for Dermatologic Surgery [et Al.] 2004 August
BACKGROUND: Acanthosis nigricans of the axillae is a common cutaneous disorder that is difficult to treat.
OBJECTIVE: The objective was to assess the efficacy and safety of a long-pulsed alexandrite laser (5 msec) in the treatment of acanthosis nigricans of the axillae.
METHODS: A single axilla was treated using the long-pulsed alexandrite laser. Ten sessions were required, at fluences of 16 to 23 J/cm2 using either 10- or 12.5-mm spot sizes. The untreated axilla served as a control.
RESULTS: Greater than 95% clearance was achieved after seven sessions. There was no recurrence after 2 years. The untreated axilla was unchanged.
CONCLUSIONS: The long-pulsed alexandrite laser can effectively and safely treat acanthosis nigricans of the axillae.
