Diathermy is primarily used for which condition?

Skin rejuvenation
Treatment of telangiectasias
Reducing acne scars
Enhancing blood circulation

The correct answer is: Treatment of telangiectasias

Diathermy is primarily used for the treatment of telangiectasias, which are small dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin. This procedure utilizes high-frequency electrical currents to generate heat, which can effectively vaporize and obliterate these superficial blood vessels, thus reducing their appearance. While skin rejuvenation, reducing acne scars, and enhancing blood circulation may also benefit from various treatments, diathermy's specific application and effectiveness in addressing telangiectasias set it apart. Other methods may be preferred for acne scarring or general skin rejuvenation, and while improved circulation can result from various therapies, it is not primarily a function of diathermy in the context of esthetic treatments.
