Background: Macular amyloidosis (MA) is a disease that causes tiny, dusky-brown or greyish pigmented macules that are difficult to treat with topical or systemic treatments. The Q-Switched neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (ND:YAG) laser, on the other hand, has proven to be an effective treatment for hyperpigmentation. The goal of this study is to see how effective the ND:YAG laser is at treating Macular Amyloidosis. Methods: Thirty female patients were treated with a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser at 1064 nm with a spot size of 3 mm, fluence of 6-7 J/cm2, frequency of 2 Hz, and 350-500 pulses using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with a spot size of 3 mm, fluence of 6-7 J/cm2, frequency of 2 Hz, and 350-500 pulses. With each therapeutic session, the total number of pulses decreased as the hyperpigmentation intensity decreased. The approach was done six times at one-month intervals for a total of six therapy sessions. The purpose of this research is to determine how successful the ND:YAG laser is in treating Macular Amyloidosis. Thirty female patients were treated with a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser at 1064 nm with a spot size of 3 mm, fluence of 6-7 J/cm2, frequency of 2 Hz, and 350-500 pulses. The total number of pulses reduced with each therapy session as the hyperpigmentation intensity decreased. For a total of six therapy sessions, the method was repeated six times at one-month intervals.
