Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The authors present a case where postinflammatory changes (scarring, hyperpigmentation and/or hemosiderin) after sclerotherapy is treated with a longer wavelength QS Nd:YAG argumenting for their choice.

The case is well-presented and meticulously followed up with images of high quality.

The Discussion gives a sound overview of choices for treatment

This reviewer could not detect anything in the paper needing improvement or changes.

Author Response

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The manuscript demonstrated the effectiveness of QS Nd:YAG 1064 nm Laser for the management of complications after sclerotherapy in one patient. I recommend to include in the title the type of article, a case report. 

In the conclusions section you should state that more studies are needed to assess the efficacy of QS Nd:YAG 1064 nm Laser for the management of skin complications after sclerotherapy in combination with topical therapy.

R: We thank the reviewer for this important comment to improve our manuscript. We have completed the conclusion section with the statement: "Larger studies are needed to assess both the efficacy and safety of the QS Nd:YAG 1064 nm laser in the treatment of skin complications, including hyperpigmentation and scars, subsequent to sclerotherapy, whether employed as independent interventions or in combination with topical therapy."
