Some useful URLs on lasers and IPL

[Guest guest]

Here are some of the URLs I mentioned quickly before:

Special issue on rosacea:

http://www.dermatology.org/jcms/Sup_2_4.html

Web site for maker of photoderm machines (used to be ESC, but

apparently changed name ...)

http://www.aesthetics.lumenis.com/site/content/skin_ipl.asp

Harvey Jay's views on photoderm treatment

http://www.epilight.net/

Article on laser treatment (note that everything looked better, except

patients didn't agree!)

1: Lasers Med Sci 2002;17(1):26-33

Laser treatment of erythema and telangiectasia associated with

rosacea.

SM, Lanigan SW, Marks R.

Department of Dermatology, The University Hospital of Wales, Heath

Park, Cardiff, UK.

The response of rosacea-associated erythema and telangiectasia to

treatment with the pulsed tunable dye laser (PDL) was evaluated in

12 patients. Improvements in erythema, telangiectasia, flushing, the

physician's and the patient's perception of overall severity,

treatment tolerability, and the adverse side effects were examined.

With the sole exception of the patient's assessment of overall

severity we have found highly significant improvements in all other

parameters evaluated, with excellent tolerance of treatment. We

therefore conclude that the PDL is a safe and effective treatment for

the erythemato-telangiectatic component of rosacea.
