Overview

Medical Therapy

  • Medical and surgical options are available for the treatment of “problematic” hemangiomas.[1]
  • Medical management includes one or more systemic therapies.
  • For massive and life-threatening disease:[1]
  • These agents have also been used for:
  • Multifocal disease
  • Visceral involvement
  • Segmental distribution
  • Airway obstruction
  • Periorbital lesions

Pulsed dye laser

Pulsed dye laser is considered to be effective choice for a series of skin disorders including superficial hemangiomas.[2]

Intense pulsed light

  • IPL flash lamps emit broadband polychromatic high-intensity light in the wavelength spectrum ranging 515-1200nm.[2]
  • They target vessels at various depths inside the skin.
  • The effect relies on selective photothermolysis.
  • The indication spectrum includes vascular tumors including hemangiomas.
