Management of Hyperpigmentation of Lips with 940 nm Diode Laser : Two Case Reports

Author – Dr. Vidyaa Hari Lyer, Dr. Sana Farista

Date:- 25 May 2021

Lip hyperpigmentation is an issue with young adults when the dark brown patch on the lips makes an unsightly appearance.  The laser energy is selectively absorbed by the melanin that causes pigmentation. This causes a photothermal ablation of melanocytes which leads to its disruption and subsequent removal by the body’s immune system. It generally takes one to three treatments to lighten or remove unwanted pigmentation with a laser. With most laser lip pigmentation removal, the pigmentation becomes darker for approximately 1 week and then flakes off. The treatments are spaced at least 1 month apart. There is also usually some redness and mild swelling in the treatment areas for a few days after treatment. The previous studies reported 100% clearance of pigmentation of the lips with single laser treatment, and recurrence was not observed even after 6 months. This article highlights the use of 940 nm diode dental lasers for lip depigmentation procedures. Dental diode lasers have become a universal alternative tool for esthetic corrections of the oral cavity.
