“…Besides depilation and treatment of pigmented lesions, reports of the successful treatment of many, especially vascular, skin lesions by intense pulsed light (IPL) technology have been published in recent years [7,8,9,10,11,12]. The aim of these high-intensity flashlamps is the deletion of target structures – in our case, thermal damage of vessels, which is mediated by hemoglobin – by emitting high-power noncoherent light according to the mechanism of selective photothermolysis [13].…”

Background: Treatment of progressive disseminated essential telangiectasia and erythrosis interfollicularis colli by flashlamp pulsed dye laser frequently results in a mottled appearance and often leads to hypo- or hyperpigmentation after treatment. Furthermore, treatment is time-consuming due to the small spot size. Objective: To report the successful removal of thin vessels in patients with the above-mentioned indications by an intense pulsed light (IPL) source. Methods: Four patients with progressive disseminated telangiectasia on the extremities and 5 patients with erythrosis interfollicularis colli were treated with IPL. Results: A clearance of up to 90% of the telangiectasias was achieved. Conclusion: The superficial, thin vessels of progressive disseminated essential telangiectasia and erythrosis interfollicularis colli can be successfully treated by IPL.
