Vascular Lesions

There are a variety of vascular lesions which are now routinely treated with lasers [92-99]. The chromophore targeted is oxyhemaglobin. Laser treatment of vascular lesions has been used in children to manage common childhood lesions, including port wine stain and haemangiomas [100]. In adults, visible veins in the lower extremities, commonly called spider veins, are treated with lasers [101,102].
