ABSTRACT
Importance Facial lentigines are a common patient complaint encountered in general and cosmetic dermatology practices. Lentigines are a marker of photoaging and understanding their distribution will provide insight into the aging process in order to better counsel patients. Objectives:
To compare the relative distribution of lentigines in facial cosmetic subunits.Methods:
We reviewed clinical photographs of patients receiving Alexandrite laser treatment for facial lentigines during the time period 11/1/2017-12/1/2018. Individual lentigines were plotted for each patient into one of 21 aesthetic units. A "heat map" was created to compare the relative density of these lesions.Results:
Grouped peripheral cosmetic subunits contained more lentigines compared to grouped central cosmetic units. The mean number of lentigines in the central units was 0.60 and in the peripheral units was 0.85. This finding was statistically significant with a p value of 0.0001.
