It is a stressful condition for patients due to skin discoloration. In the past, no effective treatments were available.

The search of the words \u201cargyria and laser\u201d was performed on the March 4, 2020.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We found 11 studies that reported laser treatment for argyria. All of the studies were case reports demonstrating treatment responses of laser devices such as 1064\u00a0nm Nd:Yag laser and 755\u00a0nm alexandrite laser. Despite various treatment parameters, 1064\u00a0nm Nd:Yag and alexandrite lasers showed good responses in argyria. However, severe pain during the laser procedure was the main concern. We summarized laser treatment options for argyria including their parameters, treatment response, and anesthesia for laser treatment in argyria. We also report a case of argyria, which successfully responded to low fluence 1064\u00a0nm Nd:Yag laser.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Laser therapies resulted in almost complete clearing of pigment in argyria. Earlier reports showed that 1064\u00a0nm Nd:Yag laser successfully treated argyria but recent studies suggested 755\u00a0nm alexandrite was also a good treatment option for argyria. Additionally, our case achieved excellent results even in one session of low fluence Q\u2010switched Nd:Yag laser, though we need to ensure pain control during the laser treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jocd.13549","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,15]],"date-time":"2020-06-15T12:40:58Z","timestamp":1592224858000},"page":"1877-1882","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Effective
