Copper vapor laser and microsclerotherapy of facial telangiectases. A patient questionnaire.
Journal of Dermatologic Surgery and Oncology 1994 January
BACKGROUND: Facial telangiectasia due to photodamage is a common disfiguring condition in modern society. Over the past 10 years yellow light laser photocoagulation has become the treatment of choice.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of copper vapor laser alone with combined microsclerotherapy and copper vapor laser in the treatment of facial telangiectases.
METHODS: Two hundred thirty-nine consecutive patients were asked to complete a questionnaire evaluating the two different treatments; 180 (75%) patients responded.
RESULTS: Both treatments were found to be effective but patients who received the combined treatment gave significantly higher ratings in effectiveness and overall satisfaction. There was also non-significant reduction in the incidence of adverse effects reported by patients treated by the combined method.
CONCLUSION: Supplementary microsclerotherapy enhances the effectiveness of copper vapor laser photocoagulation of facial telangiectases.
