简介
Background and Objectives
The near‐infrared (NIR) laser radiation due to its high penetration depth is widely used in phototherapy. In application to skin appendages, a high selectivity of laser treatment is needed to prevent light action on surrounding tissues. Indocyanine green (ICG) dye may provide a high selectivity of treatment due to effective ICG uploading by a target and its narrow band of considerable absorption just at the wavelength of the NIR diode laser. The goal of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of the NIR diode laser phototherapy in combination with topical application of ICG suggested for soft and thermal treatment of acne vulgaris.
Study Design/Materials and Methods
Twenty‐two volunteers with facile or back‐located acne were enrolled. Skin sites of subjects were stained by ICG and irradiated by NIR laser‐diode light (803 or 809 nm). One mg/ml solution of ICG was applied for 5 or 15 …
