Abstract
Twenty-two patients with 29 hemangiomas or angiomatous lesions were treated with an IR light coagulating device. Total clearing of the lesions was obtained with capillary hemangiomas < 1 cm in diameter. Distinct improvement is achieved in senile angiomas, spider nevi and capillary hemangiomas > 1 cm in diameter. Using the correct dosages, this therapy is nearly free of side effects and represents a practicable alternative to conventional methods.
