It typically presents as blue-black or gray macules, mainly in individuals with darker skin tones, and can cause significant cosmetic concerns. Treatment options include cryotherapy, dermabrasion, and laser therapy, with the Q-switched (QS) Nd:YAG (1064 nm) laser emerging as a promising option. This report describes the case of a 25-year-old woman diagnosed with unilateral nevus of Ota. After clinical examination, the patient was treated with the QS Nd:YAG laser, undergoing 12 treatment sessions over three years. A significant reduction in pigmentation was observed with no adverse effects. This case demonstrates the effectiveness of the QS Nd:YAG laser in managing nevus of Ota and highlights the importance of appropriate laser settings, patient selection, and post-treatment care. Laser therapy, particularly with the QS Nd:YAG laser, may offer a reliable and durable solution for reducing pigmentation and improving the cosmetic appearance of patients with this condition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4081\/dr.2025.10276","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,20]],"date-time":"2025-02-20T05:27:11Z","timestamp":1740029231000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Nevus of Ota with excellent response to Q-switched Nd:YAG pigmented laser: a case report"],"prefix":"10.4081","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Lulwa","family":"Alogayell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-9793-3881","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah","family":"Alrashid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sahar","family":"Alruhaimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raneem","family":"Najjar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2549","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"31591","unstructured":"1.
