Actual (reported)In recent years, with the maturity of laser technology, laser therapy is one of the popular options for the treatment of pigment diseases. The absorption spectrum of melanin ranges from 300 to 1,000 nm. In past studies, the 532 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is effective for the treatment of superficial melanin. But there are still some side effects in laser treatment, such as post-inflammation pigmentation (PIH), depigmentation, skin redness, etc., and PIH is particularly likely to occur on darker skin. However, there is still no good evidence as to what factors or laser treatments can cause PIH. Therefore, in this study, we will use ApolloVue® S100 Image System (ApolloVue® S100 Image System is a medical device class II) to scan before and after skin of laser treatment to observe the changes in the skin condition. By observing and analyzing these changes, as a evaluation of predictors or prognostic factors after laser treatment and whether PIH will occur.

Actual (reported)Static Physician's Global Assessment (PGA)
Static PGA is often used to evaluate disease severity of psoriasis. In recent years, this evaluation index has also been applied to pigmented diseases, such as solar lentigo, melasma, and vitiligo. In this trial, Static PGA divides the severity of pigmented diseases into 0\~8. 1. 0: Extremely lighter than pigment of surrounding skin (completely depigmented) 2. 1: markedly lighter than pigment of surrounding skin 3. 2: moderately lighter than pigment of surrounding skin 4. 3: slightly lighter than pigment of surrounding skin 5. 4: equal with pigment of surrounding skin 6. 5: slightly darker than pigment of surrounding skin 7. 6: moderately darker than pigment of surrounding skin 8. 7: markedly darker than pigment of surrounding skin 9. 8: extremely darker than pigment of surrounding skin
one and a half years
Dynamic Physician's Global Assessment (PGA)
Dynamic PGA is often used to evaluate the degree of improvement after treatment of the disease. In this trial, Dynamic PGA evaluates the degree of improvement after comparing with the state before treatment (baseline). The degree of improvement is divided into 0\~5. 1. 0: completely cleared of undesired pigment; no evidence of cosmetic deficit remaining; 100% improvement 2. 1: significant clearance of undesired pigment; slight evidence of cosmetic deficit remaining; about 75% improvement 3. 2: moderate clearance of undesired pigment; moderate evidence of cosmetic deficit remaining; about 50% improvement 4. 3: slight clearance of undesired pigment; marked evidence of cosmetic deficit remaining; about 25% improvement 5. 4: no change in cosmetic appearance from baseline 6. 5: cosmetic appearance worse than at baseline
one and a half years
Subject satisfaction
During the two follow-up visits after treatment, subjects will evaluate their satisfaction after treatment. In this trial, this evaluation form will be divided into 0 to 5 points according to the degree of improvement. 1. 0: completely cleared of undesired pigment; no evidence of cosmetic deficit remaining; 100% improvement 2. 1: significant clearance of undesired pigment; slight evidence of cosmetic deficit remaining; about 75% improvement 3. 2: moderate clearance of undesired pigment; moderate evidence of cosmetic deficit remaining; about 50% improvement 4. 3: slight clearance of undesired pigment; marked evidence of cosmetic deficit remaining; about 25% improvement 5. 4: no change in cosmetic appearance from baseline 6. 5: cosmetic appearance worse than at baseline
Epidermal pigmented lesion
The device will be used to do Laser treatment. To compare the therapeutic effect to laser treatment before and post treatment for 14 and 60 days.
The device is an in vivo non-invasive optical coherence tomography and will be used to obtain OCT images before and after laser treatment of skin.
