Laser Treatment for Capillary Malformation

Abstract

Currently the first choice of treatment for capillary malformation is the dye laser. In order to enhance the therapeutic effect of the laser for capillary malformation, it is important to start the treatment as early as possible with an infant at age zero. Dye laser treatment is more difficult in outpatients when the treatment is delayed and the therapeutic age of patients increases.

With increasing age, the area of the birthmark increases so that it takes more time and effort to treat the same site repeatedly. The thickness of the skin also increases and the efficacy rate decreases.

In this paper, we describe early treatment of capillary malformation with dye laser.
