Good indications: Laser therapy is used to treat vascular or blood vessel lesions with great efficacy. For example port wine stains commonly recognized as patches of red and purple are treated with near 90% clearance with current technology. Sun damage spots with brown patches and dilated red streaks as a result of chronic sun exposure can be virtually erased with lasers and pulsed light therapy.
