Treatment of Post-Filler Granuloma Formation
Jasmina Kozarev, MD, Dr. Kozarev Dermatology Laser Clinic
In a prospective study we wanted to determine if Fotona's Q-switched Nd:YAG laser could be used to successfully treat post-filler granuloma formation. In three treatment sessions we first used a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (QX MAX), and a fractional Er:YAG laser (SP Dualis) immediately after. With the Q-switched Nd:YAG laser we were able to successfully remove pigmented inflammatory infiltration and biofilm without significant skin destruction, while the fractional Er:YAG laser treatment additionally removed inflammatory and pigmented cells, and induced regeneration in the epidermal and dermal compartment.
