Treatment of telangiectasia in surgical scars on the face with intense pulsed light: case series

Abstract

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is an effective technology to treat vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, and photorejuvenation, among other indications. In the case of telangiectasia, its mechanism of action is based on photothermolysis of the vessels, inducing intravascular coagulation. We report three cases where IPL was used to treat telangiectasia in a surgical scar, showing good aesthetic results after three sessions.
