A large percentage of patients with cutaneous vessels on the face and legs experience noticeable reductions in the severity of veins after treatment with long‐pulsed Nd:YAG lasers, a study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology reports.

The retrospective study cohort included patients from a single center who had cutaneous vessels on the face and legs (n=145). Treatment was administered in 2 sessions, each with long‐pulsed 1064‐nm Nd:YAG lasers (Cutera) with 3- to 7-mm spot size, 60 to 300 J/cm2, and 10 to 25 msn pulse durations. Sessions were divided by 4-week intervals.
