Abstract
• Recent advances in laser techniques for the treatment of vascular lesions have attempted to overcome the disadvantages of argon laser therapy. The trend toward a more selective treatment of these lesions, with preservation of as much normal tissue as possible, has been set. Minimal argon laser methods, yellow-dye lasers, and treatment with hematoporphyrin derivative photodynamic therapy extend the abilities of the laser surgeon to treat port-wine stains and other vascular lesions safely.
