Rhodamine intense pulsed light versus conventional intense pulsed light for facial telangiectasias.

Abstract

Facial telangiectasias represent the major aesthetic alterations of several chronic inflammatory disorders arising on facial skin. We herein report on relevant clinical results of a new subtype of intense pulsed light treatments, the so-called rhodamine intense pulsed light (r-IPL), in comparison with conventional IPL (c-IPL) treatments on forty-five patients affected by facial telangiectasias. The aim of this study is to determinate whether r-IPL represents an effective and safe treatment for the most common superficial vascular alterations and could be advised as a first choice therapy for facial telangiectasias.
