Long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser using an “in motion” setting to treat telangiectatic rosacea - 16/06/23
, C. Conforti bAbstract |
Background |
Rosacea is an inflammatory condition of the face characterized in its early stages by flushing, erythema and telangiectasias.
Objectives |
We evaluate the efficacy of long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser on erythematousteleangiectasic rosacea (ETR).
Methods |
In a retrospective case study of 21 patients (14F, 7M) with an average age of 29 years (range 19–41), were treated with two sessions at a distance of one month, with phototype up to III (5 phototype 1, 14 phototype II, 2 phototype III) with a fluence of 20 J/cm2.
Results |
We observed a reduction of the erythematous component between 50% and 80% after two sessions, with an average pain score attributed to the treatment, measured by visual analogue scale (VAS), of 3.
Conclusion |
In this case series in which Nd:YAG laser had been used with a “'in motion” technique, we observed a reduction of the side effects and pain.
