Abstract
Laser treatment of vascular lesions remains one of the more common applications of lasers in dermatology. In fact, lasers have largely become the treatment of choice for vascular birthmarks such as hemangiomas and port-wine stains and the definitive treatment of the telangiectatic form of rosacea. The range of congenital and acquired vascular lesions effectively treated with lasers continues to expand.
