  • Title: Further evaluation of the potential of the argon laser in the treatment of strawberry hemangiomas.
    Author: Hobby LW.
    Journal: Plast Reconstr Surg; 1983 Apr; 71(4):481-9. PubMed ID: 6681910.
    Abstract:
    Six cases of strawberry hemangioma have been presented in which some form of intervention in tumor progression was indicated. The argon laser was used. All six cases showed loss of surface vascularity. Growth was clearly arrested in four of the six. Premature regression could be definitely claimed in only one. The strong impression is presented that argon laser therapy, although often helpful in the more developed strawberry hemangiomas, as seen in this series, could be most effective if used when the lesion is first noted, before it has time to grow, especially in areas of high complication potential. Where feasible, further exploration into the use of the argon laser in very early strawberry hemangiomas is urged.
