Abstract
The argon laser remains an excellent, important laser in the 1990s. Its major role in dermatology is for the treatment of mature nodular port‐wine stains, telangiectasia, small vascular lesions, and superficial pigmented lesions. Technique modifications and appropriate patient selection have been developed to maximize favorable response.Keywords
