Laser-Based Management of Occupational Photodamage in a Young Adult: A Case Report

Cutaneous photodamage results from chronic ultraviolet exposure and represents a frequent concern in dermatologic practice. Laser-based therapies play a central role in its management, particularly when combined in a multimodal, individualized approach. We report the case of a 32-year-old woman with occupational sun exposure treated with a staged laser protocol incorporating a picosecond 1064 nm laser for global photorejuvenation and pigment modulation and a Q-switched ruby laser (694 nm) for solar lentigines. The patient achieved sustained clinical improvement with high satisfaction and no significant adverse events. This case supports the use of personalized, multimodal laser strategies for a well-tolerated and effective management of photodamage and associated pigmentary conditions.
