Abstract
Background. In modern dermatology and cosmetology, correction of hyperpigmentation occupies a significant place in practical activities. Laser therapy with fractional photothermolysis is one of the most popular methods for correcting various types of hyperpigmentation. Description of the clinical cases. Two cases of use of the fractional laser therapy with CO2 laser system in patients with complex cases of hyperpigmentation (melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) are presented. In both cases, pronounced lightening of the foci of pigmentation and a general improvement of skin tone were noted. Conclusion. Modern laser technologies provide the most effective and safe treatment of not only standard age-related pigmentation and senile lentigo, but also post-inflammatory pigmentation, as well as such a difficult nosology for therapy as melasma.
