Laser tratament for hemangiomas

The non-insvasime tratament of hemangiomas has become feasible in the last decade with the advent and evolution of laser technologies.High-specialized laser tratment for vascular conditions is a safe and effective method,now availbe in Moldova.

How does laser light work?

The laser operates on the principle of selective photothermolysis,where the laser light beam is absorbed by the blood pigment oxyhemoglobin.This absorption converts laser energy into thermal energy, leading to the obliteration (closure) of capillaries. Notably, the laser beam is virtually indifferent to skin pigment (melanin), ensuring that the skin remains intact after laser ablation—without crusting or scarring.

Are all lasers equally effective for hemanioma treament?

Currently, multiple laser technologies exist. Scientific evidence demonstrates that only light with a wavelength specifically adapted to oxyhemoglobin is intensely absorbed. Therefore, vascular pathologies can only be treated effectively when specialized laser equipment targeting vascular issues is used.

The Candela Norlys laser from Candela Medical Corporation USA is a unique,state-of-the-art device that utilizez a special wavelength with dual ultra-short filters for removing cutaneous vascular conditions without the risk of damaging adjacent tissues.

The most unfavorable scenario arises when lasers with different wavelengths,targeting other chromophores like water,, are used for hemangioma treatment. For instance, CO2 lasers with a wavelength of 1064 nm or diode surgical lasers with a wavelength of 980 nm are intended for resolving other issues such as excision of skin formations, scar resurfacing, or anti-aging treatments. Using these lasers does not result in vessel obliteration.

What is a hemangioma?

A hemangioma is a benign congenital vascular tumor. Although it may not manifest clinically in the first 6-8 weeks of life, it typically grows in size in children up to one year old. It is quite common, occurring in approximately 10 out of 100 newborns.

Hemangiomas not only increase in size but can sometimes cause ulcerations, bleeding, or adhere to adjacent organs. Often, they regress or even disappear without treatment; however, 30-40% persist throughout life.

There are two types of indications for treatment: medical and cosmetic.

1. Medical indications:when the hemangioma grows rapidly and impedes certain functions, immediate treatment is necessary. Hemangiomas located on the face, fingers, or genital organs should be treated as soon as diagnosed.
2. Cosmetic indications:when the hemangioma does not expand and only causes aesthetic discomfort, treatment is considered cosmetic. However, hemangiomas on the face can have a significant psychological impact, potentially leading to stigmatization over time, affecting both children and parents.

Treatment

Currently, there are numerous methods for managing hemangiomas. The accelerated development and implementation of laser technologies in daily medical practice, combined with the use of the medication "Propranolol" when necessary, offer children a safe, effective, and scar-free treatment option for hemangiomas.

Older treatment methods with sequelae such as cryodestruction, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, sclerotherapy, and electrocauterization are gradually becoming obsolete. Additionally, the number of surgical excisions of hemangiomas has significantly decreased in the last decade.

Currently, laser therapy is the treatment of choice for hemangiomas and superficial vascular malformations. It is a safe, effective, and non-invasive method performed on an outpatient basis (no hospitalization required) with excellent cosmetic results.

Nothing is more challenging than correcting unsuccessful attempts to remove hemangiomas with outdated treatment methods.

Laser vascular treatment is a new, safe, and effective method. It offers the possibility of removing skin vascular conditions quickly and painlessly. The exceptional medical and aesthetic effects provided by the Candela Nordlys laser from the renowned Candela Medical Corporation USA should be fully appreciated.

Main advantages of Candela Nordlys laser treatment:

• Specially designed wavelength for resolving vascular pathologies
• High-intensity laser with rapid processing speed and safety
• Pailess
• No risk of damaging adjacent tissues
• Excludes scarring:hence,laser tratment is used to remove hemangiomas in children 
• No rehabilitation timerequired
