Abstract:
The condition in which melanin level was higher than normal level in a certain skin area was called as skin pigmented lesion. Hemagioma is a vascular lesion of skin that found commonly in the newborns. 578nm-wave Copper Vapor Laser that produces extremely short pulse of 20nm/s is used to treat plane hemagioma. Copper Vapor Laser also produces 511nm waves that was absorbed strongly by melanin, so it is also used to treat pigmented lesions of skin. Pulsed laser produces significant higher effect than wave-continuous laser. The treatment process required 6-8 courses with the intervals of 2-4 months.
