Is Erbium-YAG laser efficient to treat Morbus darier?

Oral · Virtual · Day 3

Abstract

About this talk

Murbus Darier, also known as keratosis follicularis, is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis characterized by abnormalities in keratinization, resulting in hyperkeratotic papules, plaques, and malodorous lesions primarily affecting seborrheic areas. Mutations in the ATP2A2 gene make treating this disease difficult because it never goes away and keeps returning. People who receive standard treatments including retinoids and corticosteroids to treat their condition experience minimal benefits and suffer unwanted drug side effects. The therapeutic use of Erbium-YAG and CO? lasers as ablative techniques helps patients with Darier disease control local and challenging skin lesions. The lasers remove hyperactive outer protective tissue to accelerate skin regeneration while reducing future outbreaks and delivering better cosmetic results. One of the effective ways to treat this disease is to use Ablative lasers (Erbium-Yag or CO2). I need to present a case in which I treated with Erbium-Yag Laser. Ablative laser therapy shows great promise as a new solution to help patients who do not respond to traditional treatments.
