The Successful Treatment of Eyelid Intradermal Melanocytic Nevi (Nevus of Miescher)With the Dual-Wavelengths Copper Vapor Laser

Introduction: Surgical methods for removing eyelid nevus are associated with a risk of developing such side effects as scarring or loss of eyelashes. Although current laser modalities have shown promising results, eyelid laser surgery may cause skin discoloration and noticeable scarring. This study aims at evaluating the efficacy and safety of the dual-wavelengths copper vapor laser (CVL) treatment of eyelid intradermal nevus of Miescher (NM). Patients and Methods: We present three adult female patients with eyelid intradermal nevus treated with CVL. CVL settings were as follows: the average power of 0.6-0.8 W, under a power ratio of 3:2 at wavelengths of 511 nm and 578 nm, exposure time of 0.3 seconds, the light spot diameter of 1 mm. Results: The dual-wavelength CVL treatment of medium- and large-sized NM provides the complete removal of eyelid dome-like NM after one and two sessions with a month interval correspondingly. The duration of skin healing accounted for two weeks. Conclusion: The complete removal of eyelid NM lesions without side effects demonstrates the safety and efficacy of dual-wavelengths CVL in treating such skin lesions. This laser treatment mode of benign skin neoplasms seems promising for dermatologists and cosmetologists' clinical practice.
