Abstract:
The principle of selective photothermolysis, which states that thermal destruction can be predicted by choosing the appropriate wavelength, pulse duration, and pulse energy for a particular target, applies to the laser treatment of vascular lesions. The most commonly used vascular lesion lasers and light sources emit wavelengths of 532 nm, 577-600 nm, and 1064 nm. A wide range of vascular lesions can be treated using these systems.
