  • long pulsed nd yag laser treatment of Venous Lakes report of a series of 34 cases
    Dermatologic Surgery, 2006
    Co-Authors: Philip S Bekhor
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND Some Venous Lakes do not respond well to traditional vascular lasers. The Nd:YAG laser output at 1,064 nm is less well absorbed by hemoglobin but penetrates more deeply into tissue. OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of the long-pulsed Nd:YAG on Venous Lakes. METHODS Thirty-five consecutive adult patients presenting with a Venous Lake were studied. Four patients had failed to respond to polidocanol 1% sclerotherapy, and 1 patient to pulsed dye laser. Long-pulsed Nd:YAG was administered via a water-cooled tip. Either a 3-mm spot at 250 J/cm2 and 55 ms or a 5-mm spot at 140 to 180 J/cm2 was used depending on the size of the lesion. Clinical end points were characterized by hardening of the lesion, central blackening, minimal whitening of the periphery, and in most cases, an audible popping sound. Responses were assessed visually in 50% of cases or by phone contact in the remaining 50% if the lesion had completely disappeared. One patient was lost to follow-up. RESULTS After a single treatment, 94% cleared completely; incomplete clearance occurred in 6%. There were no reported complications. CONCLUSIONS The long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser is highly effective treatment for Venous Lakes of the lip and cheeks.

  • treatment of a Venous Lake angioma with intense pulsed light
    The Lancet, 1998
    Co-Authors: Carimia Borek
    Abstract:

    various vascular lesions with minimal side-effects. A pulse width is chosen to deliver light energy within the thermal relaxation time (cooling time) of the target vessels. The large spot size (8 35 mm) allows deeper photon penetration. We report treatment of a Venous-Lake angioma with the PhotoDerm VL IPL. The treated lesion was 11 mm in diameter and 4 mm deep on the right upper lip of a 70-year-old woman (figure, top), and had been present for over 3 years. A cool thermocoupling gel, BVL (ESC Medical Systems), was applied to the area of the Venous Lake before treatment. We used wavelengths above 590 nm, a triple pulse mode delivering an average fluence of 67·5 J/cm in three consecutive pulses, separated by an average 50 ms delay, with an average 5·1 ms duration per pulse. Six such triple pulses were delivered to the lesion during one treatment session. No anaesthesia was required. The lesion lightened immediately after treatment, with no purpura. 33 days after treatment the area was normal in appearance and to palpation (figure, bottom).

  • Venous Lake of the lip treated with a sclerosing agent report of two cases
    Dermatologic Surgery, 2003
    Co-Authors: Chihhsun Yang
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND A Venous Lake is a Venous ectasia that appears mostly on the lower lip and other sun-exposed areas of an older person. Treatment of lip Venous Lake includes surgical excision, laser therapy, infrared coagulation, and cryotherapy. Although the use of sclerotherapy on varicose veins, leg telangiectasia, hemorrhoids, and hemangiomas is well established, the use of sclerotherapy for lip Venous Lake has not been reported. OBJECTIVE We present two cases of lip Venous Lake treated with intralesional injection of 1% polidocanol. METHOD Two cases are reported, and literature is reviewed. RESULT The lesions virtually disappeared, leaving an inconspicuous scar, with two sessions of sclerotherapy. Side effects were not observed. CONCLUSION Sclerotherapy with polidocanol is effective in the treatment of lip Venous Lake and offers an alternative to conventional methods.
