Abstract | BACKGROUND: OBJECTIVE: METHODS: Nine patients with adenoma sebaceum were treated with the copper vapor laser. Individual lesions were treated with the yellow light (578 nm) at 0.4 to 0.6 mW. Pigmented lesions or lesions resistant to treatment were treated with the green light (511 nm) at 0.4 to 0.9 mW. Intervals between treatments were at least 6 weeks. RESULTS: Good to excellent cosmetic results were seen in all treated patients. Scarring or hyperpigmentation occurred in none of the patients. Most patients required additional treatments with the copper vapor laser as new lesions developed. CONCLUSION:
