Management of seborrhoeic keratosis and actinic keratosis with an erbium:YAG laser—experience with 547 patients

Seborrhoeic keratosis and actinic keratosis are common skin lesions, and the latter is a precursor for skin malignancy. The treatment regime can be lesion-directed or field-directed. Current lesion-directed treatments include cryotherapy, shave excision, and laser ablation. Field-directed treatment typically encompasses multiple topical agents. This article presents the authors' experience of lesion- and field-directed erbium:YAG laser treatment of 547 patients (Fotona Dualis XS Laser). In this series of patients, those who had resurfacing as field therapy showed no recurrence during the 12-month review period.
