Treatment of Idiopathic Telangiectasias
Sclerotherapy Laser treatment Telangiectasias can usually be eliminated by sclerotherapy, intracapillary injections of 0.3% solution ofsodium tetradecyl sulfatethrough a fine-bore needle. Hypertonic saline 23.4% is sometimes used but causes fairly severe, temporary, localized pain; therefore, large areas of telangiectasias may require several treatments. Pigmentation may develop but usually subsides, often completely. Skin ulceration may result if the injection is extravascular or too large. Laser treatment is effective, but large areas require several treatments. Small telangiectasias may persist or recur after initial treatment.
