The goal of this clinical study is to assess the effectiveness of Nd:YAG laser 1064 nm in the long pulse mode in the treatment of signs of rosacea including the erythema of the face and telangiectasia. The used parameter of this laser was of very low energy (spot size: 5mm, fluence: 4.07 J/Cm2, energy: 800 millijoules (mJ) and frequency: 5 Hz. About 2-3 passes performed in each treatment session. Up to four sessions were performed for each patient with 2 weeks interval) and also its was expected to have minimal adverse effects.

| Nd:YAG laser 1064 nm | Device | The entire face of each patient with rosacea was treated with long-pulse 1064nm Nd:YAG laser. The parameters that been used were spot size: 5mm, fluence: 4.07 J/Cm2, energy: 800 mJ and frequency: 5 Hz. About 2-3 passes performed in each treatment session. Up to four sessions were performed for each patient with 2 weeks interval. |

| Changes in erythema of face of patients with rosacea been treated by ND:YAG laser 1064 nm long pulse width by using clinician erythema scale (CEA) | Erythema was graded from 0 to 4 using clinician erythema assessment scale (CEA). The score 0 is the lowest score of erythema and score 4 means the highest severity of erythema of the skin | Three months |
