ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Rosacea is an inflammatory condition of the face characterized in its early stages by flushing, erythema and telangiectasias.OBJECTIVES:
We evaluate the efficacy of long-pulsed NdYAG laser on erythematousteleangiectasic rosacea (ETR).METHODS:
In a retrospective case study of 21 patients (14F, 7M) with an average age of 29â¯years (range 19-41), were treated with two sessions at a distance of one month, with phototype up to III (5 phototype 1, 14 phototype II, 2 phototype III) with a fluence of 20â¯J/cm2.RESULTS:
We observed a reduction of the erythematous component between 50% and 80% after two sessions, with an average pain score attributed to the treatment, measured by visual analogue scale (VAS), of 3.CONCLUSION:
In this case series in which NdYAG laser had been used with a "'in motion" technique, we observed a reduction of the side effects and pain.Key words
