cqvip:Granuloma faciale (GF) is a rare cutaneous condition of unknown origin with characteristic clinicopathological features. It predominantly affects the face and in some causes an unacceptable cosmetic appearance. Numerous medical and surgical treatments have been used with varying degrees of success. Several single-patient case reports have demonstrated the successful use of the pulsed dye laser (PDL) in treating GF.This study assesses the results of four patients with facial GF from one dermatological laser centre that were treated with the Candela Vbeam. PDL at 595 nm. Resolution of the GF was achieved in only two of the four patients (50%). Nevertheless this study provides further evidence that the PDL can help some patients with GF. Subsequently it is still a valuable treatment option for GF, especially as it is safe, well tolerated and quick.
