Article Synopsis
- Melasma is a challenging skin condition characterized by hyperpigmentation, and this study aimed to observe changes in melanin and melanocytes after laser treatment using optical coherence tomography (OCT).
- Eight female patients with melasma in Taiwan were analyzed, categorized by type of melasma, and received tailored treatment with sequential OCT imaging taken over 8 weeks.
- Results indicated significant improvement in the Melasma Area Severity Index (MASI) score, but OCT showed no major changes in melanin; however, there was a decrease in both the length and width of dendritic melanocytes in lesional skin.
