Comments on “The decrease of Demodex density after Nd: YAG laser application for facial telengiactasias: A case report”

“…areas." [3][4][5] In addition to the concept that the possible mechanisms of application of lasers to induce coagulation necrosis of Demodex mites and that the mite may contain some chromophores which make it more sensitive, 1…”

“…Other methods besides dermoscopy for monitoring the clinical and subclinical skin facial alterations, vessels, and DF before and after laser treatments are represented by standardized VISIA (Canfield Imaging Systems, Fairfield, New Jersey), reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), and dynamic optical coherence tomography (DOCT). DOCT allows in vivo exploration of vessels in rosacea, RCM permits the detection and quantification of Demodex mites in vivo noninvasively, and VISIA allows the identification of “red areas.” 3‐5 …”
