Use of high-power diode laser at 1060 nm for the treatment of vascular lesions

Sumario:The use of 1060-nm wavelength light emitted from a high-power diode laser is a novel method for the removal of vascular lesions. Two Caucasian women with Fitzpatrick skin phototype II, who had various vascular lesions, were treated with a 1060-nm high-power diode laser, applying a fluence of 120 J/cm(2) and a single pulse duration of 74 milliseconds. Immediate results were that the cherry angiomas became dark and a scab was formed (that remitted 2 weeks after treatment); the telangiectasias and venulectasias disappeared immediately. This technology has reported effective and safe results for removing different types of vascular lesions in the two patients treated. Side effects were those expected for this technique.
