Abstract
Argon laser radiation is used to treat congenital and acquired vascular lesions of the head and neck. Thirteen patients requiring a total of 36 treatments were followed up for a minimum of 1 year to assess the response of the vascular lesion to argon ion radiation. Of the 13 patients, 10 had an excellent result, with the lesion no longer being identifiable. Three of the patients had residual but minimal color remaining in the lesion. There were no complications or hypertrophic scars after 1 year of follow-up. The laser parameters used and the surgical technique followed are outlined.Keywords
