Figurę 5. Schematic summary of our therapeutic strategy for pigmented lesions. A treatment protocol is suggested for lesions in each Category (l-VII) except for Category II, which was divided into three subclasses: solar lentigines (SL), melasma and others. SLfrequently hasa thicker horny layer, so is initially treated with a QS ru by laser (QSR)followed by RA-HQ therapy for post-la ser hyperpigmentation. Melasma sometimes requires two orthree sessions of RA-HA. Category IVeVI lesions require combination protocols using QSR and RA-HQ therapy, while Category VII can be treated with OSRalone.
