“…Pulses of this laser have proved to obtain better results in the treatment of large vessels 15 that are also better than those obtained with the 800 nm diode laser 5 and the 755 nm alexandrite laser as reported by Eremia et al 22. In our experience, 810 nm laser for the treatment of leg veins 5 is less effective for vessel coagulation, as is the case when using 1,064 nm 15, 23, than when combined 585 and 1,064 nm laser pulses are used. Actually sequential pulses of these two wavelengths address the same target, and therefore a more consistent package of laser energies reaches the selected target.…”

“…Larger vessels are preferentially removed by millisecond Nd:YAG (1064 nm) laser (GRADE 1A) . As a second‐line treatment option, these vessels may be treated by alexandrite (755 nm) and various diode lasers (800, 810, 940 and 983 nm) (GRADE 1C) …”

Aim Lasers and non-coherent intense pulse light sources (IPLS) are based on the principle of selective photothermolysis and can be used for the treatment of many vascular skin lesions. A variety of lasers has been developed for the treatment of congenital and acquired vascular lesions which incorporate these concepts into their design. Although laser and light sources are very popular due to their non-invasive nature, caution should be considered by practitioners and patients to avoid permanent side-effects. The aim of these guidelines is to give evidence-based recommendations for the use of lasers and IPLS in the treatment of vascular lesions. Results Lasers and IPLS are very useful and sometimes the only available method to treat various vascular lesions. It is of a paramount importance that the type of laser or IPLS and their specific parameters are adapted to the indication but also that the treating physician is familiar with the device to be used. The crucial issue in treating vascular lesions is to recognize the immediate end-point after laser treatment. This is the single most important factor to ensure both the efficacy of the treatment and avoidance of serious side-effects. Methods Conflicts of interestNone declared. Funding sourceNone.Since the publication of previous European Society of Laser Dermatology (ESLD) guidelines in 2007, there have been significant advances in the field of laser treatment of common vascular lesions.1 These guidelines have been updated by the Consensus Panel under the auspices of the ESLD. Methodology, search strategy and recommendation formulation are described in Appendix II. A brief overview of vascular lasersStandard vascular lasers include pulsed dye lasers (585 and 595 nm), and KTP-lasers (532 nm), followed by longer wavelength lasers such as alexandrite lasers (755 nm), diode lasers (800-900 nm) and millisecond Nd:YAG lasers (1064 nm). New developments include a non-uniform pulse sequence or a dual-wavelength modality (combined dual wavelength 595 and 1064 nm-pulsed dye and Nd:YAG laser) and microsecond Nd: YAG lasers. [2][3][4][5][6] Even fractional photothermolysis has begun to be used for selected vascular lesions. Lasers' and intense pulse light sources (IPLS) effects are based on the principle of selective photothermolysis. In general, they deliver a precisely graded aliquot of energy to a defined area of the skin in a reproducible, standardized manner that almost always involves addition or evacuation of heat.

“…The 800‐nm diode can also be used to provide effective treatment of leg blood vessels by using stacked pulses (5–8 stacked pulses), a 50‐ms pulse duration, a 3‐mm spot size, and fluences of 210 to 336 J/cm 2 . Using up to three separate treatments, it was possible to achieve 50% to 74% improvement in 60% of patients (6/10) 32 …”

The appropriate choice of light system to treat telangiectases, venulectases, and reticular veins varies depending on anatomical, physiological, and biological differences in the vessels. Safe and efficacious treatment of superficial leg vessels can be achieved with multiple lasers by taking advantage of the oxyhemoglobin absorption peaks. The authors have indicated no significant interest with commercial supporters.
