Abstract:

Background:   chloasma may be a common skin disorder associate degreed optical device began to be an possibility of treatment. Objective: to check between the effectiveness of Erbium: Glass 1540 nm optical device and Nd: YAG Q-Switched 1064nm optical device within the treatment of chloasma. Methods: This comparative split face clinical study was meted out in optical device analysis Unit, school of medication, University of Kufa, Iraq; for the amount from October 2012 to December 2013. every patient’s face was divided into 2 halves, every [*fr1] was treated with one among the 2 optical device devices employed in this study; third Erbium: Glass 1540nm and Nd: YAG Q-Switched 1064nm lasers. The severity of chloasma was assessed before, once treatment and three months later with the changed chloasma space and Severity Index (MASI) Score and by images. Results: The mean changed MASI scores were reduced within the facial halves treated by Erbium: Glass 1540nm optical device (statistically extremely important P worth of zero.001) quite those treated by Nd: YAG Q-Switched 1064nm optical device (statistically important P worth of zero.022). Conclusion: The treatment was well tolerated and patients incontestable positive responses with promising results.
