  • Title: [Pulsed color laser for treatment of benign, superficial vascular malformations].
    Author: Gosepath K, Mann W.
    Journal: Laryngorhinootologie; 1995 Aug; 74(8):500-3. PubMed ID: 7575902.
    Abstract:
    The flash lamp-excited dye laser is ideal for treating benign superficial vascular cutaneous lesions. Port-wine stains, telangiectases, spider angiomas, or hemangiomas may be treated without pain. If used properly, complications such as skin texture changes, hypopigmentation, and scarring are extremely rare. The flash lamp-excited dye laser works on the principle of selective photothermolysis, which allows selective damage to the target vessel without affecting surrounding tissue. Lesions like xanthelasma palpebrarum, keloid scars, and warts may also be treated by the flash lamp-excited dye laser. This study presents the results of treatment with this laser in our patients.
