Abstract

Low fluence Q-switched neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) lasers are widely applied for facial depigmentation. Nonetheless, few reports analyze the general outcome, complications, of single and combined therapy of 532/1064-nm Nd:YAG lasers in Asian patients with Fitzpatrick type IV skin.
