Laser skin therapy is a low-risk, noninvasive modality used by pediatric dermatologists to treat many skin conditions. The laser used most often by our pediatric dermatology team is the pulsed dye laser. However, many other types of lasers may be used depending on your child’s needs. Lasers are commonly used to treat birthmarks, vascular lesions (blood vessel anomalies), hemangiomas, port wine birthmarks, some lymphatic malformations, acne scarring, surgical scars, traumatic scars, tattoo art, traumatic tattoos (e.g. pencil lead, road rash, etc.), some inflammatory skin diseases, and skin changes from some genetic syndromes (e.g. angiofibromas in tuberous sclerosis). Laser treatments performed by our team are done without sedation (not under anesthesia).
Our compassionate pediatric team understands the importance of helping children feel comfortable during their appointment. We like to create a fun and engaging environment where we can fully understand what is bothering them before discussing treatment options as a family and team unit.
