We suggest that laser treatment overcoming the recurrence should be planned based on the adequate energy level targeting the melanocyte progenitor cells. High-energy irradiation may induce apoptosis of progenitor cells and delay their process of differentiation. Short-term repetitive sessions of laser therapy can reduce the pigmentation in the long-term observation.
