Actinic telangiectasia
Actinic telangiectasia are telangiectasia of the sun exposed areas secondary to chronic sun damage.
These lesions, particularly prominent on the skin of fair skinned patients, can be a significant cosmetic concern.
Treatment:
- The lesions respond very well to the pulsed dye laser at 585 nm.
- Use of a broad spectrum sunscreen is appropriate to prevent new lesions.
