N2 - Treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) requires a combination of medical, surgical, and lifestyle interventions. Intense pulsed light (IPL) and lasers have been reported to be useful. The aim of this review is to find the evidence supporting IPL and laser treatment of HS and to provide guidance for the management of specific HS lesions. We searched PubMed and Web of Science for “laser” and “hidradenitis suppurativa” on April 6, 2022. Inclusion criteria were >10 patients, reported follow-up, English language, and human subjects with a diagnosis of HS. A total of 724 articles were screened, but only 17 studies qualified for inclusion (IPL (n = 4), Nd:YAG (n = 6), CO2 laser (n = 6), and intralesional treatment (n = 2). The majority of the studies had a low (n = 10) or moderate (n = 7) evidence level. Treatment effect was noticed in studies using IPL and Nd:YAG (hair reduction). CO2 laser was used for surgery with a success rate ranging from 70.7% to 96.7%. CO2 laser is useful for surgery of stationary HS lesions, but it is difficult to draw a conclusion on the use of IPL and Nd:YAG (hair reduction) as the studies were too heterogeneous to perform a meta-analysis.
