  • Title: Laser treatment of port-wine stains and hemangiomas.
    Author: Garden JM, Bakus AD.
    Journal: Dermatol Clin; 1997 Jul; 15(3):373-83. PubMed ID: 9189675.
    Abstract:
    Since their discovery, lasers have truly advanced and broadened our options for the treatment of port-wine stains and hemangiomas. It is a blending of many sciences and much effort that allows us the opportunity today to selectively treat these vascular processes with relative effectiveness and significant safety. Ongoing study and development continue to offer hope on increasing benefit for our patients. Laser systems with variable wavelengths, pulse durations, and delivery methods will help accommodate the diversity of various port-wine stains and hemangiomas that are encountered in medicine.
