Abstract
|
|
|
|
Cafe au lait macule (CALM) is a benign epidermal hyperpigmentation disorder that can be idiopathic or associated with neurocutaneous syndromes. CALM responds to many therapeutic methods showing various treatment outcomes and recurrence rates. Each laser of 755 nm alexandrite and 1,064 nm Nd:YAG toning is used for treatment of benign pigmented lesions, however there is no combination approach for use of these lasers for treatment of CALM. This report describes the case of a 20-year-old male who presented with CALM on his face without a personal or family medical history associated with neurofibromatosis. In this case, combination laser of 755 nm alexandrite laser with 1,064 nm Nd-YAG laser toning showed relatively high efficacy in removing CALM without re-pigmentation.
