While often grouped together, different vascular conditions may require different lasers or laser-like devices to achieve best clearance. Shorter wavelengths, such as that of the KTP laser, may be best suited for superficial facial veins. Port-wine stains typically respond best to pulsed-dye laser treatments. On the other hand, longer wavelengths (such as that of the Nd:YAG laser) may pe*****te deeper, allowing for the treatment of deeper leg veins. Nd:YAG laser is also safer for the treatment of vascular lesions in patients with darker skin tone. Intense pulsed light (IPL), a broadband, laser-like device, may work best for diffuse redness associated with rosacea. Thus, comprehensive knowledge in the field of laser surgery is of the utmost significance when selecting a laser practitioner.
