Abstract:
Angiofibroma is a disfiguring facial deformity that constitutes pait of the multiple system involvement in tuberous sclerosis. We describe eight affected patients who have been treated with:arbon dioxide laserabration and subsequent copper vapor later treatment for residual angiomatous component, which resulted in conspicious cosmetic improvement without scarring or recurrence. This report documents that the treatment with carbon dioxide later and subsequent copper vapor laser is an efficient and safe remedy for treating multiple facial angioibromas.
