چکیده
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an intense pulsed light (IPL) irradiator system for the treatment of benign pigmented lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 18 patients with lentigo solaris and eight patients with melanocytic nevi were treated once with an IPL system. After 2 months, the effect was evaluated on close-up photographs. RESULTS Pigment reduction was obtained in 96% of the patients, and the average clearance was found to be 74.2% and 66.3% for lentigo solaris and melanocytic nevi, respectively. CONCLUSION The IPL was found to be effective for removal of benign pigmented lesions.
