Dr Namitha Prabhu, Bengaluru    21 January 2019

  • The choice of laser depends on the etiology of periorbital melanosis (POM). Q-switched lasers and fractionated lasers are useful in treating pigmentary causes of POM.
  • Vascular conditions can be treated with long pulsed lasers. Fractionated lasers are used to treat skin laxity.
  • Low fluence treatment with subthermolytic Q-switched lasers (1,064 nm) is associated with less side effects but requires multiple sessions weekly.
  • A multimodal treatment approach offers best results for periorbital hyperpigmentation.
