A total of 30 paired lentiginous lesions were randomly selected for a single treatment with either a KTP 532\u2010nm picosecond laser or an alexandrite 755\u2010nm picosecond laser. Mean luminance score (L*) was evaluated at baseline and at 6 and 12\u00a0weeks to determine treatment efficacy. Improvement was assessed by a blinded physician using a 5\u2010point score. Satisfaction was rated by patients using a visual analog scale. All adverse events were documented.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>All 30 patients completed the study. Both lasers showed significant improvement in mean L* from baseline (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001). With the parameter settings employed, lesions treated with the alexandrite 755\u2010nm picosecond laser showed greater improvement in mean L* when compared with treatment with the KTP 532\u2010nm picosecond laser at 12\u00a0weeks follow\u2010up (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.002). According to physician scoring, more than 50% improvement was observed in 25 and 19 lesions of the alexandrite 755\u2010nm picosecond laser group and the KTP 532\u2010nm picosecond laser group, respectively. Adverse events did not differ between groups. A significantly higher satisfaction score was observed with the alexandrite 755\u2010nm picosecond laser at the last visit (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.038).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Both types of picosecond laser may be used to treat solar lentigines.
