Activated melanocytes and senescent collagen fibers predict laser-treated melasma outcomes: An optical biopsy–based prospective cohort study

Activated melanocytes and senescent collagen fibers predict laser-treated melasma outcomes: An optical biopsy–based prospective cohort study

Background: Melasma Area and Severity Index (MASI) score only assesses the pigmentation rather than photoaging. Picosecond alexandrite laser (PAL) with diffractive lens array (DLA) can improve photoaging and has been approved for melasma treatment. Prediction for post-laser outcome is limited. Objec...
