Laser zaps face veins in scleroderma patients – 21 test it out

This study tested a pulsed dye laser to reduce red veins (telangiectasias) on the face and neck in 21 people with scleroderma. Participants received four laser sessions, and the researchers checked how many veins disappeared, how patients felt about the results, and any side effects. The goal was to see if the laser is a safe and helpful option for improving appearance and quality of life.
