[Treatment of capillary hemangiomas by infrared contact coagulation].
Twenty-two patients with a total of 29 hemangiomas or angiomatous lesions were treated with an infrared light coagulating device. Total clearing of the lesions was obtained with capillary hemangiomas smaller than 1 cm in diameter. Distinct improvement is achieved in senile angiomas, spider nevi and capillary hemangiomas with more than 1 cm in diameter. Using the correct dosages this therapy is nearly free of side effects and represents a practicable alternative to conventional methods.
