Abstract
Background: Facial vascular lesions are a common situation in medical practice and can cause cosmetic concerns for patients.
Objectives: To evaluate the results of facial telangiectasia treatment using the Nd:YAG 1064nm transdermal laser.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in which two independent evaluators evaluated pre- and post-treatment photographic records of patients submitted to Nd:YAG 1064nm transdermal laser treatment for facial vascular lesions.
Results: Both evaluators' ratings indicated a statistically significant improvement after treatment (p<0.0001), with a moderate strength of agreement between evaluators.
Conclusions: Limitations notwithstanding, the results suggest that the use of 1064 nm Nd:YAG transdermal laser for the treatment of facial vascular lesions proved to be effective for treating facial vascular lesions.
