Q-Switched LASER to treat ochre dermatitis

after venous disease therapy

Carlos Eduardo de Freitas Jorge,

vascular surgeon

Belo Horizonte, MG - Brazil

This is a white paper case report described by vascular surgeon Carlos Eduardo de Freitas Jorge, from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Dr. Jorge uses the ETHEREA-MX® platform, combining different technologies: LongPulse®, for transdermal treatment of vascular lesions in the lower limbs, and ACROMA-QS®, for cases of adverse events related to blood extravasation, as in the case of ochre dermatitis.

Treatment:

• At first, after an evaluation is completed and the venous disease is confirmed, treatment is carried out. Next, the treatment using ACROMA-QS^® tarts, eliminating the risk of incidence of other hemochromatosis. “I mark the skin to observe the tissue’s reaction to the use of different parameters (shown in the photos)”.

Photo before the treatment and after 8 sessions, using the recommended parameters – 3 or 5 mm spot, ranging from 600 to 1500 mJ, starting with 5 mm at 1200 mJ, and reaching up to 3 mm at 600 mJ.

Check out the result:

ACROMA-QS® LASER to treat ochre dermatitis.

Img. 3: 30 days after the treatment is completed. In this case, while the parameter with 1500 mJ presents crusting in the post-treatment, a dose of 1200 mJ shows satisfactory results. Around 8 sessions are recommended, with a 30-40 days interval between each session.
