  • Title: Use of lasers in pediatric dermatology.
    Author: Morelli JG.
    Journal: Dermatol Clin; 1998 Jul; 16(3):489-95. PubMed ID: 9704206.
    Abstract:
    Since the elucidation of the principles of selective photothermolysis, lasers have revolutionized the treatment of many types of vascular and pigmented lesions seen in children. Although laser treatment is not perfect, it is extremely safe and allows for improvement or in some instances complete removal of previously untreatable childhood abnormalities. Children with any of the types of lesions discussed in this paper should be referred to an experienced laser surgeon for early evaluation and treatment if appropriate.
