AB Vascular  lesions  are  a  commonly  encountered  problem  in  procedural  dermatology,  and  patients  frequently  desire  their  removal.  Light-based  devices  such  as  lasers  and  intense  pulsed  light  (IPL)  are  among  the  most  utilized  technologies  for  removal  of  these  lesions.  This  chapter  will  discuss  the  evolution  of  light-based  therapies,  the  treatment  of  vascular  lesions  using  the  principles  of  photothermolysis,  and  will  review  diagnostic  criteria  and  suggested  treatments  for  many  vascular  lesions  including  port  wine  stain  (PWS)  birthmarks,  infantile  hemangiomas  (IHs),  venous  malformations  (VMs),  telangiectasias  and  rosacea,  cherry  and  spider  angiomas,  poikiloderma  of  Civatte,  and  angiokeratomas.
