## SUMMARY The pulsed dye laser (PDL) was developed based on the concept of selective photothermolysis. Using a wavelength of light well absorbed by the target and a pulse duration short enough to spatially confine thermal injury, specific vascular injury could be produced. While the PDL revolution

β¦ Synopsis
The author's experience in the use of the argon laser in the treatment of superficial vascular lesions in children is reviewed. Deteriorating portwine stains, strawberry hemangiomas, other hemangiomas, telangiectasias, and other lesions are discussed. Their natural histories are discussed. Details are given regarding indications for therapy, techniques, and postoperative results.

## Background: Vascular lesions, especially on exposed sites, can be unsightly and may cause significant psychological distress. lasers are effective in treating such lesions, but relatively few studies have been performed looking at psychological scoring before and after laser therapy. ## Objecti
This study intends to document and evaluate the first compiled experience in the treatment of both cutaneous and deep vascular lesions using the Nd:YAG laser. Thirty-eight patients were treated over a 5-year period from 1979 to 1984 using the Nd:YAG laser with FDA approval. Lesions included capilla
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Extendedβpulse dye lasers (EPDL) are commonly used to treat a variety of vascular lesions. This study evaluated whether differences in pulse formats and cooling methods might affect outcome in the treatment of small facial telangictasia. ## Study Design/Ma
Superficial telangiectasia of the lower extremity in 38 patients was treated with both argon and CO2 lasers. Results after five months revealed no change or worsening of the veins in 49% of the patients and good to excellent improvement or segmentation in 16% of the patients. The most common complic
