Background:
Laser treatment of vascular skin conditions is very useful option yet remains to be a very challenging task.
Aims:
To evaluate the efficacy of 577-nm diode laser for treating facial telangiectasia.
Patients And Methods:
Thirty patients with facial telangiectasia were included in this prospective study. All participants received 3 sessions of a single-pass 577-nm diode laser. Sessions were delivered on a monthly basis, and digital photographic assessment was made at baseline and on follow-up 1 month after the last treatment.
Results:
At the final visit, there was a significant improvement (> 50%) reported in 21/30 (70%) patients while a poor response was reported in 2/30 (6.7%) patients. The skin phototype and site of the lesions significantly affected the result outcome (P < .05) while none of the patients' age, sex, or duration of facial telangiectasia significantly affected the treatment outcome (P > .05). Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation occurred in 2(6.7%) patients which resolved within 1.5 months.
Conclusion:
Facial telangiectasia can be successfully treated with a 577-nm diode laser with minimal side effects.
