The use of 1060-nm wavelength light emitted from a high-power diode laser is a novel method for the removal of vascular lesions. Two Caucasian women with Fitzpatrick skin phototype II, who had various vascular lesions, were treated with a 1060-nm high-power diode laser, applying a fluence of 120 J/cm2 and a single pulse duration of 74 milliseconds. Immediate results were that the cherry angiomas became dark and a scab was formed (that remitted 2 weeks after treatment); the telangiectasias and venulectasias disappeared immediately. This technology has reported effective and safe results for removing different types of vascular lesions in the two patients treated. Side effects were those expected for this technique.

Background: Vaginal atrophy affects nearly of 50% of postmenopausal women. The study aimed to evaluate the use of intra vaginal light-emitting diodes after laser procedure for vaginal atrophy treatment, to minimize laser side effects. Methods: The study included 2 groups of treatment with 30 women in each. Group 1: one session of laser alone; Group 2: one session of laser, and immediately after, one session with Floreo® LED. Patients were followed-up for one month. Variables: distance urethra-vagina, thickness AA and AP, and vascularization. Results: At post-treatment, group 1 showed more signs of edema and inflammation. Differences were statistically significant for thickness AA (P=0.0014), thickness AP (P=0.0003), and vascularization (p<0.0001). One month post-treatment, both groups had similar anatomical values with no significant differences. Conclusion: Intra vaginal light-emitting diodes immediately after laser procedure, significantly minimized post laser treatment normal or expected transitory side effects, without diminishing its efficacy.
