In a comparison study, Korean researchers have found that a combined 585/1,064-nm (sequential dual-wavelength pulsed dye laser [PDL] and neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet) laser is as safe and effective as a PDL laser alone in treating mild to moderate acne (acne vulgaris)
For the randomized, double-blinded, split-face study, which was published in the medical journal Dermatologic [...]
