Neodymium long-pulse laser as a monotherapy for unaesthetic vessels of various locations: a series of clinical observations

The article presents a series of clinical cases describing the successful use of the long-pulse neodymium laser in removing unaesthetic reticular veins and telangiectasia of various locations. The first two cases demonstrated reticular varicose veins of the lower limbs in female patients with a fear of injections, which were treated without compression garments and ecchymoses with excellent effect. The outcome of treatment was comparable with that of classical sclerotherapy. The third case showed a successful laser removal of large telangiectasias on the hands, which developed following the long-term use of injection narcotic drugs as part of trophovegetoneurosis. Such pathology is rare for medical practice and approaches to its treatment have not been developed. The fourth case showed large telangiectasias of the buccal and zygomatic regions A good effect after the use of a large diameter spot in that area was demonstrated. The fifth case demonstrated the treatment of the veins in the buccal region, including the vein curving over the mandibular angle. The outcome of the treatment allowed to evaluate not only the aesthetic effect of the procedure, but also the severity of side effects in that area. In the sixth case, the periorbital vein, which divides into two branches, was investigated. The treatment was successful despite the different structure of the vein wall and depth of occurrence. The seventh case demonstrated the removal of large temporal veins. The outcome of treatment was presented on the following day, reflecting the degree of visual discomfort in the early post-procedure period. The final outcome a month after treatment was also demonstrated. In conclusion, the eighth case demonstrated the effectiveness of the treatment of scattered small red telangiectasias on the face using a long-pulse neodymium laser.
