AB  - Destruction  of  vascular  lesions  by  laser  treatment  represents  one  of  the  earliest  applications  of  selective  photothermolysis,  a  principle  elucidated  by  Anderson  and  Parrish.1  The  first  reports  of  successful  clinical  laser  treatment  of  vascular  lesions  were  made  by  Goldman  and  colleagues  in  1968.2  Laser  treatment  of  vascular  lesions  is  accomplished  most  often  using  the  principle  of  selective  photothermolysis,  using  nonablative  vascular-selective  lasers  that  target  hemoglobin  in  the  vessel.  Alternative  choices  such  as  ablative  lasers  or  photodynamic  therapy  have  also  been  used  to  destroy  vessels.  When  the  appropriate  laser  and  settings  are  selected  and  applied,  lasers  demonstrate  success  in  safely  destroying  cutaneous  vessels  of  various  types,  sizes,  and  depths.
