Abstract
An 8-year-old male presented with multiple hemangiomas on the lower lip, left cheek, and tongue. Under general anesthesia, hemangiomas were treated with 3W of KTP laser irradiation (continuous mode). After laser exposure, the superficial hemangioma on the lower lip and left cheek rapidly regressed, thus resulting in a good postoperative course which included reduced bleeding and a very mild scar. Our findings suggest that the use of the KTP laser may therefore be effective for the treatment of superficial hemangioma.
