Abstract
The CO2 laser is the one to prefer
For treating telangiectasia and spider nevi, when they occur.
At right angles, into the vessel, one fires a single shot,
At the power depending on the size of the spot.
If, between one and two hundred microns are the size of the spots,
The power should be between ten and twenty watts.
The impressive part of this procedure is that
The results of the treatment can be seen stat.
Some tiny marks may be created,
Where the skin is penetrated,
But, with the first washing they disappear,
While, since purpura does not appear,
The skin remains perfectly clear.
The photographs below,
Are intended to show,
One- a typical case
Of telangiectasia of the nose and face,
And two- the first case ever treated
And the treatment did not need to be repeated.
This was over thirty years ago,
And, since then, all cases were treated so.
