Background: Sclerotherapy has traditionally been considered the gold standard of treatment for leg veins, but patient fear of multiple needle injections and side effects of treatment have fueled investigation into other treatment alternatives. As a result, vascular-specific laser and light sources have been developed in an effort to treat these vessels with minimal morbidity and improved efficacy.
Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of leg telangiectasia treatment with sodium tetradecyl sulfate sclerotherapy to long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser irradiation.
