Laser Treatment of Cutaneous Vascular Lesions

摘要: Current successful treatment of port wine stains (PWS) follows the principles selective photothermolysis proposed by Anderson and Parrish (1981, 1983) (see Ch. 1). The target in PWS is haemoglobin cutaneous blood vessels. By appropriate selection wavelength, pulse duration energy fluence chosen chromophore can be selectively thermally damaged. are benign, vascular naevi consisting ectatic dermal capillaries situated predominantly superficially dermis. colour related part to erythrocyte content (Barsky et al, 1976). Laser that successfully reduces number, size these vessels results observable lightening PWS.
