“…Not only that, the long-pulse alexandrite laser has also shown potential in the treatment of venous lakes of lips, recalcitrant viral warts, and basal cell nevus syndrome, but systematic studies with larger sample sizes or comparisons with different lasers are still lacking. [36][37][38] This article summarizes the following key aspects that should be considered in the application of long-pulse alexandrite laser treatment. First, reasonable treatment parameters should be selected according to the patient's skin color, lesion depth, and the content of target chromophores in the lesion.…”

The long-pulse alexandrite laser uses Cr 3+ :BeAl 2 O 4 crystals as the activation medium and has a 755nm wavelength and millisecond pulse duration. The long-pulse alexandrite laser has been utilized for hair removal, vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, and other conditions because melanin and hemoglobin in the skin, subcutaneous tissues, and skin appendages can specifically absorb this type of laser. To serve as a guide and source of inspiration for the clinical use of this type of laser, we review the present research status and advancement of the long-pulse alexandrite laser in the treatment of the aforementioned categories of disorders.

“…Established therapeutic approaches for VL include, among others, photocoagulation using various laser devices such as a diode laser (800 nm–980 nm), a CO2 laser—10,800 nm, a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet laser (Nd:YAG) (1064 nm), an alexandrite laser (755 nm) or a potassium titanyl phosphate laser (KTP)—532 nm [ 23 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ].…”

Application of Fractal Dimension and Texture Analysis to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Treatment of a Venous Lake in the Oral Mucosa Using a 980 nm Diode Laser—A Preliminary Study

Venous lake (VL) is a common lesion resulting from the enlargement of thin-walled veins surrounded by a thick wall of fibrous tissue. Photocoagulation is becoming one of the basic methods for treating small vascular lesions. The aim of this study was an application of texture analysis (TA) and fractal dimension analysis (FDA) to evaluate VL treatment. Twenty-three VLs were included in the study. We used a 980 nm diode laser, 6 W, 100 ms pulse mode with a 50% duty cycle. The total dose of energy was in a range from 80 J to 600 J. We used the difference of intensity algorithm for FDA and microcontrast and a co-occurrence matrix for TA. A complete therapeutic effect was achieved in 83%, and in 9%, scar formation was observed after three months. No healing was observed in 4%, and there was partial healing in 4%. No differences in FD were observed between the lesions after three months and the healthy mucosa. The fractal dimension and microcontrast of a vascular lesion are mutually coupled. FDA and TA is a useful and objective method of assessing treatment effects for venous lakes. The non-contact mode of the 980 nm diode laser is an effective and safe method for treating a VL.

“…They are usually soft, and when compressed, they tend to disappear and are frequent in areas exposed to the sun. These alterations result from the growth of thin veins surrounded by fibrous tissue [ 1 - 3 ]. In the oral cavity, they are well-demarcated, asymptomatic, soft, purple or dark blue, usually measuring less than 10 mm, and mainly in the red lip zone and the ventral tongue surface.…”

Small vascular anomalies are commonly present on the lips and other areas of the oral mucosa. These lesions are also known as venous lake lesions, and they can be treated in many ways with surgical and non-surgical methods. Laser is an arising technique for this type of procedure and its use has been growing in dental practices in the last years. The technique that uses the diode laser delivers the energy in a non-contact treatment, leading to the coagulation of the lesion in a minimally invasive manner, and for this reason, there is less chance of developing scar formation. In this report, a 56-year-old female patient had a vascular lesion on her lower lip measuring about 3.0 mm in diameter. The patient reported having it for more than 10 years. A first approach using a high-power diode laser had already been done but with no success. At this time, the diode laser was used under local anesthesia, with a flexible quartz fiber held 2 to 3 mm from the lesion, using the continuous wave mode set, 1.0 W of power for 10 seconds, with an interval of 30 seconds to prevent heat damage to the adjacent tissue. The laser was applied until the lesion appeared white and with evidence of shrinkage. In this case, two rounds of irradiation were done. After a 30-day follow-up, the lesion was repaired with no signs of scars on the lip. The diode laser is an effective technique for treating this type of lesion, with many advantages, such as providing coagulation, excellent healing, no postoperative complication, and no need for suturing. Besides all, it is also a low-cost procedure, small lesions usually require only one appointment, and this treatment is also better accepted by the patients.
