Abstract
It has been proven that intense argon laser light is very useful in the treatment of port-wine hemangiomas and tattoos. However, lasers can successfully treat many other benign cutaneous lesions. This article reports the first use of the argon laser for granuloma faciale and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. In addition, we have also successfully treated venous lakes, senile angiomas, pyogenic granulomas, acne rosacea, and nevus of Ota.Keywords
