Abstract: Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of double-wave, low power intense pulsed light in the treatment for sensitive facial skin. Methods A total of 104 patients with sensitive facial skin, including 77 patients with facial steroid dermatitis and 27 recurrent facial dermatitis, were treated with double-wave, low power intense pulsed light with an interval of 3 weeks. Five sessions of treatment served as a course and patients received 1 to 2 courses of treatment or were treated till the recovery. The grading of response was recorded on the basis of subsidence of lesions and improvement of subjective symptoms: grades were given as cure with ≥90%, excellence with 60% - 89%, and improvement with 30% - 59%, of subsidence and relief of subjective symptom, and no effect with < 30% subsidence and unrelieved or exacerbated symptoms. Results After 1 to 2 treatment courses, cure was achieved in 58 （75.32%） patients with facial steroid dermatitis and 19 （70.37%） patients with recurrent facial dermatitis, and excellent response was observed in 11 （14.29%） patients with facial steroid dermatitis and 5 （18.52%） patients with recurrent facial dermatitis. The total effective rates were 89.61% （69/77） and 88.89% （24/27） in patients with facial steroid dermatitis and those with recurrent facial dermatitis, respectively. Side effects included exacerbation of erythema in 2 patients, development of small papules and pustules in 3 demodex-positive patients，and transient mild erythema and desquamation in 3 patients. Conclusion Double-wave and low power intense pulsed light is a safe and effective treatment for sensitive facial skin.
