Objectives: Acne represents a chronic inflammatory skin disease, with a peak incidence in adolescence and a form of ,, epidemic adult acne,, in the last decades.

Acne represents a critical issue for public health, both of its negative impact on quality of life and its implication on antibiotic resistance.

The main factors involved in acne are represented by hypersecretion of sebum and hyperkeratinization of the hair follicle, infection with Cutibacterium Acnes (also known as Propionibacterium acnes), and inflammation.

Introduction: Because acne is a chronic disease, we need both an attack treatment and a maintenance treatment. The management plan must address all issues involved in acne – diet and skin care (including sun protection), local and general treatment, and laser and surgery.

Also, is essential to break the myths associated with this disease and start the treatment as soon as possible to improve the quality of life and reduce the risk of scars, both physical and psychological.

Materials / method: The possibilities of laser treatment for acne are based on the main mechanisms of the disease (pilosebaceous unit, infection with Cutibacterium acnes, and inflammation).

The ideal treatment for acne must respect the following points: treat the,, cause,, and treat the entirely pathogenic chain, long-term effects (if possible to cure) and side effects zero (or at least mild), no pain, and simultaneous treatment of different pathogenic mechanisms.

Results: The effects of QS Pulse Dye Laser are based both on the specific,,targets,, for nanoseconds pulse duration and the effects of 595 nm wavelength on hemoglobin and vessels.

We present a series of cases of both active acne and erythema post-acne treated with QS PDL, with a specific protocol – 5 treatment sessions – 30 minutes, at two weeks, with no other local and general treatment, and a specific diet (no milk and high glycemic load food) and adapted skin care.

The treatment was performed without pain during the treatment, with mild erythema post-treatment (which fades very fast).

Conclusion: All patients show good response at treatment, with clinical improvement on both active lesions and erythema post-acne and the reduction of new lesions.

In our opinion, QS PDL represents a new tool for the management of active acne and erythema post-acne, and is possible to integrate laser treatment with other options in acne management.

Objectives: Show a novel IPL treatment in the Dye vascular form (500-600nm) in movement, which delivers a soft and superficial energy in highly inflamed erythematous pathologies, such as acne and scars, stretch marks and rosacea, improving erythema, and the quality of the skin.

Introduction: Acne, scars and pathologies that cause burning, pain and flushing cause a great physical and psychological impact. We can treat them by combining them with medical therapy, whether antibiotics, vitamin A derivatives and topical treatments to which we carry out early treatments to reduce inflammation, erythema and improve skin quality with a pulsed light technology that manages to deliver the Energy more slowly and more superficially avoiding and treating inflammation.

Materials / method: Clinical cases are shown before and after of patients with active acne, scars, recent stretch marks and rosacea, among others, only with this therapy with very good results.
In many cases, subsequent treatments such as ablative lasers are not required.

Results: The results with the treatment with Dye (500-600nm) in motion, in the form of motion, is highly effective and safe, improving inflammation, erythema and skin quality.
Also with great patient satisfaction, improving patient symptoms such as burning, pain and flushing.

Conclusion: There are many treatments to improve the vascular component of different pathologies, being the Gold Standard pulsed bleaching laser, and pulsed light in its classic form.

When telangiectasias do not predominate and there is inflammation, intense erythema and burning, better results are achieved with this soft and superficial technique that delivers less energy and takes longer.

Objectives: The Nd:Yag 1064nm laser is a unique wavelength which has many applications in medicine particularly in the field of Dermatology.

Introduction: Besides its wide range of applications and safety when it comes to treatment of dark skin patients, there are some important considerations which need to be considered when utilizing this wavelength like efficacy on fine hair, more pain and small safety window when it comes to the treatment of vascular lesions.

Materials / method: The Nd Yag 1064nm laser is one of the popular lasers in the market. Its applications, precautions, complications will be discussed in an oral presentation.
