How To Diagnose And Treat A Strawberry Hemangioma

Laser Treatment

Laser treatment helps make hemangiomas lighter, and it can also be used to completely remove some strawberry hemangiomas and slow down their spread. Some patients may have laser procedures in preparation for surgical operations. Generally, the pulsed dye laser is used in strawberry hemangioma treatment. This type of laser has a cooling component that reduces pain for the patient, and many can be treated with this laser without needing anesthesia. In particular, the pulsed dye laser is beneficial in the treatment of hemangiomas that occur near the diaper area in children, and it can also safely treat hemangiomas that have broken open. For hemangiomas that occur in the mouth, most professionals opt to use the ND:YAG laser, which is sometimes used to treat strawberry hemangiomas that occur on the skin.
