4. CONCLUSIONS 

Table 3 lists the number of treatments and the results after final treatment. 32 patients achieved more than 75% removal after two treatments, 50 patients showed 76-100% removal after three treatments and 18 patients - after four treatments. Thus 103 patients out of 111 (93%) showed an improvement of 76 ÷ 100% removal on average after three treatments and 53 patients achieved more than 90% clearance. It must be noted that in the case of patients deemed resistant to therapy, increasing the number of treatments didn't change or improve the outcome.

None of the patients revealed any scarring, textural or pigmentery changes as a result of this treatment.

We can safely conclude that vascular lesions such as face telangiectasias can be effectively treated using the copper vapor laser “Yahroma-Med”.

An important advantage of selective laser coagulation treatments is the lack of contact with the patient's blood. Thus there is no risk of an infection spread through the blood.
