Evaluation of Laser Therapy Vs Electrosurgery For Nasal Telangiectasias Using A Novel Vascular Imaging Device
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of various treatment options for
eliminating nasal telangiectasias. The study will compare the outcome of treating nasal
telangiectasias with the following; no treatment (control site), alexandrite laser, pulsed
dye laser, combination pulsed dye laser and Nd:YAG 1064nm multiplex laser system and
electrosurgery.
