Overview
Medical Therapy
- Medical and surgical options are available for the treatment of “problematic” hemangiomas.[1]
- Medical management includes one or more systemic therapies.
- For massive and life-threatening disease:[1]
-
- These agents have also been used for:
- Multifocal disease
- Visceral involvement
- Segmental distribution
- Airway obstruction
- Periorbital lesions
Pulsed dye laser
Pulsed dye laser is considered to be effective choice for a series of skin disorders including superficial hemangiomas.[2]
Intense pulsed light
- IPL flash lamps emit broadband polychromatic high-intensity light in the wavelength spectrum ranging 515-1200nm.[2]
- They target vessels at various depths inside the skin.
- The effect relies on selective photothermolysis.
- The indication spectrum includes vascular tumors including hemangiomas.
