Abstract
A recently developed long-pulsed dye laser with a skin-cooling device is reported to be more effective in the treatment of capillary malformation compared to conventional dye lasers. Long pulsed dye laser therapy has been shown to enable more intense irradiation than conventional dye laser therapies and thus be more effective for larger blood vessels. This result suggests the need for further treatments such as more intense irradiation, overlapping irradiation, irradiation using a larger aperture, and alexandrite laser and Nd:YAG laser therapy. Alexandrite laser and Nd:YAG laser therapy are effective especially for bulky capillary malformation.
