title: Electrosurgery using insulated needles: treatment of telangiectasias.
abstract: This paper deals mainly with operative techniques and clinical aspects of treating telangiectasias using insulated needles. The specialized needle is insulated at its base as well as on one half of the needle surface. The results have proven to be very satisfying, and this method shows promise not only in the treatment of superficial telangiectasias but also in deeper lesions as well.
