ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Patients frequently seek laser treatment for vascular conditions. More recently, a novel 532 and 1,064 nm laser was developed to offer greater flexibility.

OBJECTIVE: A prospective clinical trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of a novel, variable-sequenced, long-pulsed, 532 and 1,064 nm laser with cryogen spray cooling (DermaV, Lutronic, South Korea).

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Subjects with vascular conditions were enrolled for laser treatments. Clinical evaluations and optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging were performed.

RESULTS: Thirteen subjects were enrolled. The mean age was 51.3 years, and 92.3% were women. Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV were included. Treatment indications included broken blood vessels, rosacea, port-wine birthmark, and spider angioma. For physician investigator grading, all subjects were graded as improved at both 30-day and 90-day follow-up. Blinded photographic review by 3 independent, blinded physicians had a mean of 89.7% of cases selected correctly with at least 2 of 3 in agreement for 100.0% of cases. Optical coherence tomography imaging showed significant reductions in vessel density ( p = .018) and diameter ( p = .003) of the superficial vascular plexus. No serious adverse events occurred.

CONCLUSION: A novel, variable-sequenced, long-pulsed, 532 and 1,064 nm laser with cryogen spray cooling can safely and effectively improve vascular conditions and lesions as determined by both clinical and OCT evaluation.
