laser treatment of vascular skin lesions

summary and Conclusion : Laser technology for treating cutaneous vascular lesions has progressed rapidly in the past few years. Vascular lesions are broadly classified as nonproliferative malformations or proliferative neovascular lesions. Either class may be arterial, venous, lymphatic or mixed may involve large or small vessels and may be congenital or acquired, superficial or deep. Laser treatment is one of many treatment options, including sclerotherapy, embolization, drugs, surgery and radiation. The use of continuous and quasi-continuous devices has largely been replaced by treatment with pulsed lasers based on the theory of selective photothermolysis with oxyhemoglobin and hemoglobin as target chromophores The endothelium and vessel wall not the blood are the actual targets. Safe and effective laser treatment of microvascular malformations including pediatric and adult port wine stains, telangiectasias, spider and cherry angiomas is available now as routine. The fact that vessels are central to the pathophysiology of many other lesions such as inflammation and scars, the vessel-targeted laser treatments have been considered broader butility. In Conclusion ,pulsed dyer laser systems emit wavelengths 585 or 595 nm are considered the treatment of choice for port so
