“…This study was designed for treatment of a VL lesion with a 940 nm diode laser using its coagulation properties. Regarding this, it is a noteworthy point that vascular lesions are divided into several groups; VLs types of these vascular lesions appear as dark blue to violet papules or nodules, most commonly in the face on lips (in the craniofacial region) of older men (5,14). The progression of this lesion is exacerbated by exposure to sunlight (5).…”

Introduction: Venous varices are vascular lesions caused by vasodilatation. These oral cavity lesions are usually seen as papules or dark blue nodules on the tongue’s ventral surface buccal and retro-commissural mucosae. They are generally asymptomatic but may cause problems such as bleeding on trauma or lack of esthetics. Although many treatment modalities exist for these lesions, the laser is a novel and less invasive method. It secures patient satisfaction more than other methods due to the lack of bleeding and pain. Unlike previous laser therapy methods used for cutting and excision of small vascular lesions, in this lesson, the coagulation properties of laser are employed to eliminate the lesion. Case Presentation: To illustrate, a 70-year-old female person was admitted to the dental clinic of the Semnan University of Medical Sciences, Iran, for a dental examination. She has no systemic problems. During the extra-oral examination, the lesion was visualized on the right side of her lower lip, and the initial diagnosis of a venous lake was made. The lesion was asymptomatic and had been present for several years. Likewise, after obtaining informed consent, treatment with a 940-diode laser was performed. Immediately after the irradiation, the lesion disappeared, and after four weeks, the lip’s texture was completely normal. Conclusions: Exploiting the coagulation properties of the laser to eliminate venous lakes is advantageous over other methods because of the lack of bleeding or pain. Furthermore, this method has a shorter healing time.

“…The thin lower eyelid skin, compromised lymphatic drainage, increased vascularity, and underlying orbital bony remodeling create a multifactorial dilemma for the facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon. 2,3 A number of different non-surgical and surgical interventions have been used to treat infraorbital hollowing including filler injections, autologous fat transfer, topical agents, laser resurfacing, and lower blepharoplasty with or without fat repositioning. [4][5][6] There continues to be a great trend in plastic surgery treatments toward interventions that optimize the balance of efficacious long-lasting treatments while minimizing invasiveness and recovery time.…”

IMPORTANCE: Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler can be used for the successful correction of infraorbital hollowing with high patient satisfaction. OBJECTIVE: Prospectively report efficacy, patient satisfaction, and early adverse events following HA filler treatment of infraorbital hollows using objective metrics and validated patient reported outcomes. DESIGN: Twenty-one (n=21) participants underwent injection of VYC-20L (JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC; Allergan Aesthetics, Irvine, CA ) for treatment of infraorbital hollowing. Early adverse events surveys were completed at as well as FACE-Q satisfaction surveys before and 1-month after treatment. Pre- and post-treatment photos were graded using the Allergan Infraorbital Hollows Scale. MAIN OUTCOMES: Difference in infraorbital hollowing using Allergan Infraorbital Hollows Scale, satisfaction with eyes, decision to treat, and early adverse events measured using FACE-Q surveys. RESULTS: Infraorbital hollow graded improvement with VYC-20L was significant (p<.001). FACE-Q Satisfaction with Eyes scores on average were 27 points higher after treatment (p<.001). The mean FACE-Q Satisfaction with Decision score was 74.1%. The most common short-term adverse symptoms were tenderness (67%), swelling (62%), bruising (52%). CONCLUSIONS: VYC-20L has a high patient satisfaction profile with infraorbital hollow improvement and decision to treat. Satisfaction scores were consistent with our previous retrospective study.

“…The classification separates the vascular anomalies into two major groups. The first group includes tumors associated with a process of endothelial cell proliferation, which appears in childhood, with proliferative changes, followed by an involutional process of unknown etiology, called hemangiomas and the second one, consisting of those vascular malformations (VM) that appear as a result of the altered development and formation of blood vessels, present at the birth, normal endothelial mitotic activity, which grows throughout life with no presence of an involutional process [2] . These malformations can show any combination of capillary, venous, arterial, or lymphatic components, presence or absence of a fistula.…”

Vascular anomalies are subdivided into vascular tumors (hemangiomas) and vascular malformations. They are frequently located in the head, neck, and oral cavity. They are common complaints reported in patients seeking treatment for aesthetic or functional issues. However, recent advances in the diagnosis and management of these lesions are improving treatment strategies. This review provides both basic and up-to-date knowledge on the most common vascular anomalies encountered by practitioners. Due to the wide variability of treatment options which often generates debate, this paper work aims to provide a comprehensive approach of these lesions based upon current concepts and practical clinical experience. Our article is about 4 patients who had consulted for one or several purplish, elevated, well limited and soft lesion. These lesions was not painful, but worrying for patients. Therapies for VAs continue to generate a dilemma for oral surgeons. Several treatment options were reported, including conventional surgery with or without adjunctive preoperative embolization, and drug therapies, such corticosteroids, intralesional injection of corticosteroids and intralesional injections of sclerosing agents. All of these therapeutic approaches carry a high risk of severe side effects such as scars, pain, and bleeding [7] . Nowadays, advances in the use of lasers have allowed doctors an effective treatment with minimal side effects [9]. All our cases described in this article were done by Pr Haitami, using the 980 nm Diode laser, and a complete healing was observed in about 8 months at the most. The laser is therefore a great help in the management of this type of lesion.
