Lasers in the Treatment of Vascular Anomalies

Lasers have become an integral part in the management of hemangiomas and vascular malformations of many types. Patient outcomes have improved with new discoveries in laser technology and technique. This comprehensive review provides the parameters by which lasers are employed for common vascular anomalies of the head and neck. Research is still needed to identify ideal laser wavelength and treatment intervals for the variety of vascular lesions encountered.
