“…In a retrospective review of 26 subjects treated for spider angiomas, 100% of subjects experienced full clearance with the long‐pulse Nd:YAG laser when used at 4‐week intervals for 5 months . Of 200 patients with spider angiomas, 191 (95%) had successful results after single‐ or double‐pulse 565‐nm PDL . The potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) 532‐nm laser was also found to be very effective in the treatment of spider angioma.…”

“…Furthermore, in a prospective study, carried out in the United Kingdom with the participation of a total number of 201 patients with spider angiomas, it was found that lesion clearance occurred in 95% of them regardless of anatomic site. An average number of 1.84 treatment sessions using PDL were required, with a maximum number of 7 treatment sessions for a small number of patients, while for larger lesions, more treatment sessions were necessary [72] . Lastly, the successful employment of 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser has also been reported.…”

Abstract:One of the most widely used cutaneous applications of Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (laser) concerns the treatment of vascular lesions. During the past two decades, very significant advances in the application of laser technology in dermatology have occurred, with selective photothermolysis being the most important. This review focuses on the application of modern laser devices (Pulsed Dye Laser, or PDL; potassium titanyl phosphate laser, or KTP; diode laser; and neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminium-garnet laser, or Nd:YAG), as well as the combination of laser and photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of vascular lesions. In lar, both congenital (haemangiomas and port-wine stains) and acquired vascular lesions (facial and leg telangiectasias, rosacea, Poikiloderma of Civatte, spider angioma, pyogenic granuloma, and venous lakes) are discussed. The review of many recent research studies demonstrates that modern applications of lasers in dermatology constitute the finest method for the treatment of vascular lesions, combining the advantages of invasive therapy with the security offered by non-invasive therapy, while in certain cases they are the single and only choice for the treatment of these lesions.Keywords: Va scular lesions; laser; PDL; Nd:YAG; PDT Citation: Tzermias C, Eleftheriadi A, Gkiouzepaki I.

“…The bleeding spiders have been managed in the past using electrocautery, liquid nitrogen therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery and laser. 1,2 The primary mechanism of using these methods is to obliterate the central arteriole of the spider. We used 50% TCA which is being used in other dermatological conditions like mollascum contagiosum, warts, milia, xanthelesma, pyogenic granulomas.…”
