Soft Tissue Envelope

Auricular reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage involves using a soft tissue envelope to cover the cartilage framework. In patients with a low hairline, hair-bearing skin may be incorporated on the reconstructed ear, creating a difficult and conspicuous aesthetic problem. A retrospective chart review was conducted to summarize and share the experience of using the Candela GentleMax Pro 755-nm alexandrite laser system (Candela Corp) in children following auricular reconstruction. Nine patients received laser hair removal via the alexandrite laser system with good results. The number of completed sessions ranged from 1 to 5. The procedures were completed without the need for premedication or procedural sedation. Laser hair removal with an alexandrite laser system was safe, fast, and effective. With multistage auricular reconstruction, it was feasible to incorporate laser hair removal between the stages.

Field Defect

Purpose To report the management of accidental macular photocoagulation during a 750-nm Alexandrite laser hair removal procedure. Methods Single case report with images. Results A 23-year-old girl presented with an immediate visual field defect in her right eye after direct inadvertent exposure to a single discharge from a 750-nm Alexandrite laser used for laser hair removal. Baseline Snellen visual acuity was 20/20 in the involved right eye but the patient reported a subjective visual field defect. She was treated with oral methylprednisolone that was started at a dose of 1 mg/kg/day and then gradually reduced. Six months after the initial exposure, the final visual acuity was 20/20 and there was a significant improvement in the macular lesion. However, the subjective visual field defect continued. She underwent multimodal retinal imaging with optical coherence tomography, fundus fluorescence angiography, and optical coherence tomography angiography in addition to a visual field test and microperimety. Conclusion The present case documents a gradual visual and anatomical improvement following macular photic damage after accidental occupational exposure to a 750-nm Alexandrite laser. The treatment should be arranged according to the localization of the laser damage. Optical coherence tomography angiography also has the potential to help noninvasively detect choriocapillaris damage.

Unusual Increase

Background: Different types of lasers are used in the removal of undesirable hair by targeting the hair follicles, with the melanin pigment acting as the chromophore, and through the mechanism of selective photothermolysis. Objectives: This report documents an unusual increase in terminal hair growth after alexandrite laser hair removal in three female patients. Conclusion: Excessive hair growth after alexandrite laser hair removal must be listed as one of the complications resulting from the use of a laser with a fluence that is too low and can possibly be prevented if we use higher energy to fully destroy the hair follicles, with consideration given to the skin type and an effective cooling system.
