Abstract
|
|
|
|
Venous lakes are soft, compressible papules typically located in the superficial papillary dermis of sun-exposed skin, including that of the face, ears, and lips, contain dilated thin-walled venules and are surrounded by a thin fibrous tissue layer. The primary interventions for treating venous lakes include improving cosmetic appearance and managing bleeding. Laser therapy is favored because of its proven efficacy, safety, and convenience. Long-pulsed 1,064-nm neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) lasers, capable of penetrating tissue depths of 7 to 10 mm, are utilized to target moderately deep and large vessels. This report describes two successful cases of venous lake treatment in Korean patients using long-pulsed Nd:YAG lasers.
