Multiple studies have shown the 532-nm diode (DPFD Nd:YAG) laser to be effective in treating facialtelangiectasia.6,11–13 Cassuto et al11 showed that 93% ofpatients (62 of 66) obtained 75–100% clearance. Theremaining 4 of 66 had 50–75% clearance, but weresatisfied. Hevia14 compared the 532-nm diode (DP FDNd:YAG) laser with the 585-nm flashlamp-pumped,pulsed-dye laser and found no significant clinical differencesin the treatment of facial telangiectasia, buthe did report statistical differences between the 2 lasers.Patients reported a significantly greater degree ofswelling, bruising, pain, and redness after the flashlamp-pumped, pulsed-dye laser. Hevia concluded thatthe 532-nm diode (DP FD Nd:YAG) laser appeared tobe the optimal choice for the treatment of facial telangiectasiabecause of its effectiveness combined withpatient comfort. This study was well constructed, butwith a small sample size (N 5 15 patients). No permanentpathologic skin changes were noted.
