Figures
Prior to therapy, the patient had hundreds of dark brown to gray-brown macules and patches of the face in the setting of lichen planus pigmentosus (A-C). Following 10 treatments at 1064 nm (D-F) and 4 treatments at 785 nm (G-I), there was significant improvement of pigmentation on both patient and provider evaluation.
