For this reason, only some of vascular lesions can be easily treated with the Long-pulsed Alexandrite Laser.

 

The vascular lesions treated very effectively are cherry angioma, which can be easily removed using the parameters of pulse duration at 1ms, spot size at 2mm, fluence at 35J/cm2, and post-cooling.

 

Spider angioma can also be treated with the same parameters.

 

In the case of pigment lesions with rosacea and telangiectasia, it is advised to target pigment lesions and repeat treatments using the parameters of pulse duration at 3ms, spot size at 15mm, fluence at 13 to 15J/cm2, and pre & post-cooling.

 

As a result, it can be found that with the removal of pigment lesions and brightened skin tone, symptoms of rosacea and telangiectasia are improved.

 

With the parameters set to treat telangiectasia alone, however, a burn sometimes could be caused during treatment.

 

For both clinic doctors and patients, it would be better to avoid treating telangiectasia in this way.

Post-procedural care for the Long-pulsed Alexandrite Laser

 

Prior to treatment with the Long-pulsed Alexandrite Laser, doctors should inform patients of possible post-procedural phenomena such as redness, papule, swelling, itching, and folliculitis.

 

If redness, papule, swelling, and itching occur, they can be relieved using regenerating creams and soothing mask sheets, but if they have no sign of improvement even after 1 or 2 days, steroid creams should be used for 3 to 7 days.

 

Intra-procedural erosion should be treated using antiphlogistics and antibiotic ointments or regenerating ointments according to severity.

 

As for intra-procedural burns, they should begin to be treated immediately and actively upon recognition, and it is important to take care not to burst blisters if possible.
