  Background: Low-fluence 1064 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser has recently been popular in the treatment of melasma but with dissatisfaction of a high recurrence and adverse effects in our practice. The optimal regime of 1,064- nm QS-Nd:YAG laser in the treatment of melasma is not established. It raises a question as to whether we can explore the possibility of a new treatment model. Objectives: To establish a new laser regime of treatment using 1064 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser of melasma in Chinese patients, which on the hypothesis to decrease the melanosome without destroying the normal balance of production and transportation of melanin. Materials and Methods: 35 Chinese with melasma were treated with the 1064 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (4-mm spot size, 4.5 J/cm² fluence, one pass) at 4-week interval for an averag.. View More»
