Treatment of unaesthetic facial reticular veins with long-pulsed neodymium laser

Abstract

The article presents various techniques to treat unaesthetic facial veins, such as periorbital, temporal, reticular veins, which pass from the neck through the angle of the lower jaw up to the temporal region, etc. Particular attention is paid to the use of the transdermal long-pulsed neodymium laser; clinical examples with photographs of areas of interest that were taken before and after treatment within 1-6 months are presented. The authors describe in detail the basic principles on the use of transdermal lasers in aesthetic medicine. It is concluded that the treatment of unwanted reticular veins with the long-pulsed neodymium laser has a number of advantages compared to other treatment methods.
