Laser Therapy for Hemangiomas

Laser therapy for hemangiomas involves using focused beams of light to treat these common benign growths of blood vessels, often seen in infants. The laser targets the blood vessels in the hemangioma, causing them to shrink and gradually fade without damaging surrounding skin. This method is minimally invasive, usually requires no anesthesia, and can often be done in an outpatient setting. It's considered safe and effective, especially for hemangiomas that are large, located in sensitive areas, or causing functional or aesthetic concerns. Overall, laser therapy provides a gentle option to manage these growths.
