PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY IN THE TREATMENT OF CUTANEOUS HEMANGIOMAS
Keywords:
hemangioma; photodynamic therapy; CO-2 laser destruction; Optoscan laser; best cosmetic results.Abstract
Hemangioma is one of the most common benign tumors in children with predominant skin lesions. Improving the results of hemangioma treatment using high-energy lasers and photodynamic therapy. The clinical material includes 86 patients with skin hemangioma, 45 of whom used the CO-2 laser destruction technique followed by photodynamic therapy using the photosensitizer methylene blue 0.05%. CO-2 laser destruction was performed in hypertrophic- mixed forms of hemangiomas to the skin level. The combined use of lasers with photosensitizers makes it possible to improve treatment results and achieve better cosmetic results.
