Recently a patient from California reported good results of a laser treatment of Dupuytren, another patient from Switzerland reported equally good results for Ledderhose. We would be very interested in

- further experience with laser therapy
- long term results
- what kind of laser has been used and how frequently
- addresses of doctors who provide this therapy for Dupuytren and/or Ledderhose, wherever on this globe.

Thanks & please post if you have experience with laser therapy!

Hi Linda, that sounds great! Congratulation! Would you mind an update in, say, 3 - 6 months? If this yields a long term success it sure will make sense to further pursue and promote this therapy.

I started cold laser treatment for DUPS in December with Dr. Roberts in Rancho Mirage, CA. He uses a Thor machine and treats for 3 minutes per session (cost $50 per session). I had 6 treatments with him in December '05. I noticed some improvement, but not a lot. I then found Dr. Solomon of Desert Laser Center, in Palm Desert, CA. He uses an Omega XP machine and treats for 15 minutes per session for $50 per session. I had 5 treatments with Dr. Solomon in February and April 2006. I have now stopped my treatment as I was told that further treatment will probably not reduce the size of the one remaining nodule any further. When I began treatment, I had two medium size nodules on my right palm and protruding cords. I now have one very, very small nodule and no cords that I can feel.
