Early Clinical Results with a Multiple Synchronized Pulse 1064 NM Laser for Leg Telangiectasias and Reticular Veins

Abstract

Initial clinical results with a new multiple synchronized pulsed 1064 nm laser indicate that this longer wavelength supplied at pulses of up to 16 msec appears to be a valuable modality for immediate closure and subsequent elimination of leg ectatic veins. Epidermal injury is unlikely, as the near infrared wavelength has minimal interaction with melanin.
