Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of long pulsed 1064nm Nd:YAG laser (Clarity, Lutronic, Korea) in the treatment of facial telangiectasias. Subject and method: We conducted a comparative, cross-sectional, descriptive study in 26 facial telangiectasias patients (3 males and 23 females) underwent treatments in 108 Military Central Hospital from June 2017 to December 2018 with 1064nm Nd:YAG laser at spot size 5mm, pulsed duration 30ms, 1Hz repetation rate and fluence ranges 110 - 160J/cm2. Result: The mean age was 42 years (range, 19 to 62 years). Good results were in 60% of patients (treated ≥ 3 times). There were 11.5% patients with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation which reduced after 3 - 6 months. Conlusion: Treatment of facial telangiectasias using a true long pulsed 1064nm Nd:YAG laser is an effective and safe method. However, the disadvantage of the method is the multistage procedure.
