Article Synopsis
  • Telangiectasia is a key feature of rosacea, necessitating effective treatment and standardized assessment tools for clinical evaluations.
  • The study aimed to create and validate the TRoSA scale, a five-point photonumeric system to evaluate telangiectasia severity in rosacea patients, using feedback from 16 experts and 50 patient images.
  • Results showed that the TRoSA scale has high interrater and intrarater reliability, making it a reliable tool for consistent clinical assessments and treatment evaluations in rosacea.

Background: Pulsed dye lasers (PDL) are currently the first-line treatment of port-wine birthmarks (PWB). Due to high maintenance costs and instable technology, alternative methods are needed.

Objectives: To compare clinical outcomes of a variable-sequenced, long-pulsed 532-nm potassium titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser and PDL on treating PWB.

Background: Pulsed-dye lasers (PDL) are one of the standard therapies for rosacea, but alternatives are needed.

Aims: To compare the efficacy and safety of the variable-sequenced, large-spot 532 nm KTP laser to the 595 nm PDL in treating rosacea.

Materials And Methods: A prospective, controlled, evaluator-blinded study.

Laser-assisted drug delivery (LADD) is a treatment method to enhance the penetration of pharmaceuticals through the skin. The aim of the present study is to track hyaluronic acid (HA) and analyse its effect on human skin in vivo after ablative fractional laser (AFL) treatment. Healthy male and female subjects were recruited.
