Abstract
Phototechnologies occupy a leading position in the treatment of patients with rosacea. The most effective technologies are laser: pulsed dye laser (585nm, 595nm) and neodymium laser (1064nm), however, issues of comparative analysis, including in patients with a combination of rosacea subtypes, require further study.
Material and methods. We observed 64 patients with diagnosed rosacea with a combination of subtypes: erythematotelangiectatic and papulopustular. Among them, 48 (75%) were female and 16 (25%) were male. The age of the patients varied widely: from 31 to 57 years, the average age was 39.2±4.6 years. The average duration of the disease was 5.1±2.3 years. Depending on the therapy, patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 received treatment with a neodymium laser, group 2 – treatment with a pulsed dye laser.
Research results. A cumulative assessment taking into account clinical research methods with a sufficient degree of reliability revealed the advantages of a neodymium laser over a pulsed dye laser, regardless of the clinical picture of rosacea, which was confirmed by the dynamics of the IGA/PGA indices: reduction in group 1 was 79.5%/66.7%, in group 2–63.2%/51.3%, respectively. These data were confirmed by the dynamics of the DIQI index – 81.7% and 61.6%, respectively.
