[Laser treatment of cutaneous vascular lesions in childhood: prospective analysis of our experience with 95 children].

Background: Recently the flashlamp-pumped dye laser has improved treatment of cutaneous vascular lesions results since this laser acts much more vessel specific than other laser (argon, Nd:Yag). The objective of this manuscript is to analyze our experience in the treatment of vascular lesions in infancy with the pulsed dye laser.

Material And Methods: Ninety-five patients 18 years with vascular lesions (85 nevus flammeus and 10 hemangiomas) were treated prospectively with the flashlamp-pumped dye laser.
