BACKGROUND While the 532 nm wavelength has been demonstrated to be effective for facial telangiectasias, 940 nm is a novel wavelength which has only been reported in case reports. While both the 532 and 940 nm wavelengths are effective for facial telangiectasias, we lack evidence to support whether one wavelength is superior. STUDY DESIGN Randomized, blinded split-faced trial for the 532 and ...

Different lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) sources have been used over the last years to achieve reduction of facial telangiectasias. Multiple studies have shown IPL to be effective using subjective assessment of results, and one study has also shown long-term effects as judged by photos and patient self-assessment.. For the purpose of getting an objectice evaluation of the effect of IPL o...
