Popis:	A total of 112 spider naevi in 86 patients were treated with the tunable dye laser with a wavelength of 585 nm and pulse duration of 450 µs (SPTL 1, Candela Corporation, Wayland, MA). Complete ablation of the spider telangiectasia was achieved in 81 lesions (72.3%) partial ablation was achieved in 27 lesions (24.1%) and four (3.6%) lesions had no response to treatment. Transient hyperpigmentation was noted in one patient and minimal scarring in the form of a slight depression over the treated area was noted in another patient. The pulsed dye laser is shown to be effective in the treatment of spider naevi.
