“…They work thanks to a process of selective phototermolisis, where a substance absorbs light of a specific wavelength better than others. Oxyhemoglobin has a peak of absorbance at 577 nm, so vascular lasers such as 595 nm PDL and 532 nm Nd YAG emit very near to this peak, guaranteeing a good absorbance and a selective action on vessels [ 17 , 18 ].…”

Background and objectives: Facial telangiectasias are dilated blood vessels that can represent a cosmetic issue for patients. They may be associated with other conditions, such as rosacea. Laser and light treatments are nowadays becoming a cornerstone in the management of these lesions. Materials and Methods: In total, 68 patients seeking medical treatment for facial telangiectasias were enrolled from 1 March 2019 to 1 March 2020 at the Dermatological Unit of Magna Graecia University (Catanzaro, Italy). A protocol consisting of a 1064 Nd:YAG laser for darker blue telangiectasias and 532 nm Nd:YAG for red lesions followed by intense pulsed light with an optimized spectrum for vascular lesion 3 weeks after the first procedure was proposed. A three-month follow-up visit assessed patient’s satisfaction using a visual analog scale (VAS). Two dermatologists measured clinical results using a 4-point scale, comparing pictures before treatment and at follow-up. Results: A total of 68 patients (32 males and 36 females) completed the study, performing all requested treatments. No severe side effects were reported. Patient satisfaction was very high (8.15 ± 1.05 out of a 10-point VAS scale), as well as dermatologists’ clinical evaluations (2.19 ± 0.74 out of 3). Conclusions: The combination of vascular lasers and Vascular Intense Pulsed Light acting specifically on small blood vessels may help to improve the aesthetic outcome, reducing side effects. A prospective study with a larger number of participants will be necessary to confirm this study’s findings.

ObjectivesTo investigate the efficacy of Fractional Radiofrequency Microneedling (FRM) in treating corticosteroid‐induced facial erythema.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted involving eight patients diagnosed as corticosteroid‐induced facial erythema. Each patient underwent a single session of FRM. Evaluative measures included Clinician's Erythema Assessment (CEA), Patient's Self‐Assessment (PSA), assessment of telangiectasia severity, procedure‐associated pain (10‐point scale), patient satisfaction (3‐point scale) and secondary outcomes.ResultsThe study found a 75% success rate and 100% effectiveness rate in alleviating erythema symptoms. CEA and PSA scores decreased by 67.7% and 78.1%, respectively. No cases of erythema rebound were recorded during the 3‐month follow‐up period.ConclusionsFRM demonstrated effectiveness and safety in treating facial erythema, offering promising advancement in dermatologic therapeutics.
