# Transdermal laser for facial vascular lesions: a single center experience

## TL;DR

This study shows that a specific laser treatment is effective for improving facial vascular lesions based on patient outcomes.

## Contribution

The paper provides empirical evidence of the effectiveness of the 1064 nm Nd:YAG transdermal laser for treating facial vascular lesions.

## Key findings

- Treatment with the 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser showed statistically significant improvement in facial vascular lesions.
- There was moderate agreement between independent evaluators assessing treatment outcomes.

## Abstract

Facial vascular lesions are a common situation in medical practice and can cause cosmetic concerns for patients.

To evaluate the results of facial telangiectasia treatment using the Nd:YAG 1064nm transdermal laser.

A retrospective study was conducted in which two independent evaluators evaluated pre- and post-treatment photographic records of patients submitted to Nd:YAG 1064nm transdermal laser treatment for facial vascular lesions.

Both evaluators’ ratings indicated a statistically significant improvement after treatment (p<0.0001), with a moderate strength of agreement between evaluators.

Limitations notwithstanding, the results suggest that the use of 1064 nm Nd:YAG transdermal laser for the treatment of facial vascular lesions proved to be effective for treating facial vascular lesions.
