“…21 Laser treatment of hemangiomas has gained favor for treatment of shallow hemangiomas. 23 The flash pump laser emits a yellow light which is selectively absorbed by the heme moiety. This laser, in a pulsed mode, can deliver high energy in short bursts, which lessen conductive heat burn and super selectively ablate vascular tissue.…”

Hemangiomas are a common clinical problem affecting up to 10% of all Caucasian children. In the face, 50% of lesions will leave the patient with telangectasias, atrophy, fibrofatty remnants, or rugose skin. Thus hemangiomas can cause varying degrees of physical disfigurement and psychological stress. We recommend early surgical intervention in cases where it is unlikely that involution will produce a truly acceptable appearance. We will review the literature and present our management of representative cases for different facial locations.

“…Der Argonlaser eignet sich zur Koagulation oberflächlicher vaskulärer Fehlund Neubildung wie kapilläre Häman-giome, Teleangiektasien unterschiedlicher Genese und Spider Nävi [12,86]. Bei zarten oberflächlichen Gefäßen ist aufgrund geringerer Nebenwirkungen dem gepulsten Farbstofflaser mittlerweile der Vorzug zu geben.…”

“…As increasing numbers of patients are treated. certain treatment parameters have been established regarding different patient and lesion types [Cosman, 1980; Noe Apfelberg et al, 1976Apfelberg et al, , 1978Apfelberg et al, , 1979aApfelberg et al, ,b, 1981aArndt et al, 1983;Gilchrest et al, 1982;Maser et al, 1983;Solomon et al, 1968;Goldman et al, 19761. Scarring has been the main complication and has varied from 5 to 38% [Cosman, 1980;Noe et al, 1980;Apfelberg et al, 1976Apfelberg et al, , 1978Apfelberg et al, , 1981aGilchrest et al, 1982;Maser et al, 1983;Dixon et al, 19841. This report details a well-controlled series of patients with PWS treated in like manner by one surgeon with carefully controlled parameters and follow-up. The data presented augment the existing literature regarding the selection and treatment of patients with this deforming problem.…”

A total of 66 patients with port wine stains is reported. All of these were tested and 46 patients treated (80 treatments). Good to excellent results (significant lightening of color and/or smoother texture of skin) was achieved in 74% of tests (0 scar) and in 82% of treatments (4.3% scar). Treatment results correlate well with test spots but vary somewhat as the lesions are not homogeneous and skin textures vary. The lowest energy density commensurate with successful treatment should be used to reduce the incidence of scarring. Future methods of manipulating the PWS may make it possible to achieve better results with less scarring. Teenagers fared well in this series, while the problem of successful treatment in the young child remains unsolved.
