ABSTRACT Advances in laser and light-based technology have increased their potential applications, safety and efficacy for the management of vascular lesions in dermatology. Light devices for vascular lesions include the variable-pulse 532 nm potassium titanyl phosphate laser, 577 to 595 nm pulsed dye laser, intense pulsed light devices, and 800 to 940 nm diode, long-pulse 755 nm alexandrite and 1,064 nm Nd:YAG lasers. This review will discuss the various different laser and light-based devices, and provide a focused treatment approach for the management of common congenital and acquired vascular lesions.
