  • Abstract
    The recent rapid growth in demand for aesthetic non-invasive laser treatments such as unwanted skin rejuvenation, removal of age-related vascular blemishes has led to a boom in the medical devices to treat these conditions. Among diverse laser for skin treatment, copper bromide laser is a very effective, safe, and well tolerated treatment for facial telangiectasia at various energy levels and the most important thing of the copper bromide laser device is that the stability of the energy. However there is no evidence about effective copper bromide laser´s energy level for the treatment of vascular lesions. We compared energy stability and treatment performance between two energy levels in 2W and 8W which commonly use in laser treatment for the vascular lesions. 8W copper bromide laser was more stable compared than 2W copper bromide laser. Also, 8W copper bromide laser was effectively superior to 2W copper bromide laser in treatment of vascular legion. Consequently, 8W copper bromide laser treatment for vascular lesion might be more suitable than 2W copper bromide laser.
