Also known as: pulsed dye laser treatment, PDL.
Pulsed dye laser is a laser where the laser beam passes through a dye in order to target blood vessels and treat capillary malformation and other vascular lesions.
A pulsed dye laser is used to treat vascular skin lesions. The area and length of exposure will vary based on the nature and extent of the lesion. The pulsed dye lessen and even remove various vascular lesions such as port wine stains, hemangiomas or spider angiomas.
Topical anesthetic may be used in some cases.
Pain, redness, swelling, itching, blistering, bruising, changes in skin pigment, burns and bacterial infection are all potential risks of pulsed dye laser treatment but these are uncommon.
