Treatment of Vascular Lesions With a Tandem 532/1064 nm Laser

Dermatologists have for many years treated vascular lesions by a variety of modalities including cryosurgery, electrotherapy, dermabrasion and radiation. It has been hypothesized that simultaneous delivery of these two wavelengths may provide safer, and in some cases more effective, vascular lesion removal. The Tandem laser is capable of emitting multiple cryogen spurts intermittently with multiple 532/1064 nm laser pulses.This mode may reduce malformed blood vessels with a low incidence of long-term side effects.
