Comparing the efficacy and safety of a 730-nm picosecond laser with a 532-nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser for facial pigmented disorders: a retrospective comparative study

Key Points

• This research aims to compare the efficacy and safety of two laser treatments for facial pigmented disorders.
• Retrospective comparative analysis of two laser treatments
• Evaluation of clinical improvements and patient satisfaction
• Assessment of skin quality outcomes and adverse effects
• 730-nm picosecond laser showed greater clinical improvement than 532-nm Nd:YAG laser
• Patients reported higher satisfaction with the picosecond laser treatment
• Fewer adverse effects were noted with the picosecond laser, indicating superior safety
