- 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
Intense pulsed light
- IPL flash lamps emit broadband polychromatic high-intensity light in the wavelength spectrum ranging 515-1200nm.
- They target vessels at various depths inside the skin.
- The effect relies on selective photothermolysis,
- The indication spectrum includes vascular tumors including hemangiomas.
