About

The goal of this clinical study is to assess the effectiveness of Nd:YAG laser 1064 nm in the long pulse mode in the treatment of signs of rosacea including the erythema of the face and telangiectasia. The used parameter of this laser was of very low energy (spot size: 5mm, fluence: 4.07 J/Cm2, energy: 800 millijoules (mJ) and frequency: 5 Hz. About 2-3 passes performed in each treatment session. Up to four sessions were performed for each patient with 2 weeks interval) and also its was expected to have minimal adverse effects.
