Abstract
Long-pulse 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser is presented as an inmediate action treatment of telangiectatic lesions in areas complicated by permanent filler substances with previous steroids treatment. A quasi-experimental study was conducted evaluating different Nd:YAG parameters in various facial areas of the face with severe erythematotelangiectatic lesions. Digital photographs before, during, and after 5 treatment sessions were analyzed for this purpose. Results shows a decrease (p<0.05) of 59.4% in erythomatotelangiectatic severity after 5 treatment sessions however, image analysis reflects a reduction (p<0.05) of 18.5% using the gray scale and 8% when evaluating the vascular components. In this case, a reduction (p<0.05) of damage and an increase of (p<0.05) in skin texture, as well as the evaluation of the vascular components, were significant after the first session. The use of long-pulse 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser is safe for vascular lesions therapy in areas affected by permanent fillers and previous steroidal treatment.
