Combination of non-ablative fractional laser with Q-switched laser for the treatment of Becker’s nevus: efficacy and limitations

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Becker’s nevus (BN) is a benign hamartoma that may present as a distressing cosmetic problem.
The treatment of BN poses a significant challenge as current therapeutic modalities aresuboptimal and have an increased risk of adverse effects, such as scarring and dyspigmentation.
We present the use of non-ablative fractional laser therapy combined with Q-switchedNd:YAG laser as a possible therapeutic option for BN treatment and review relevant literatureto discuss its efficacy and limitations.
