Other lasers
Frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser was found to be less effective than PDL in a retrospective study on 50 infants with superficial IH.[65] In another study, the use of sequential 595-nm PDL followed by 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser led to excellent response in 18 (72%) out of 25 infants with IH on skin and mucous membrane in the head and neck region.[66] Good results with intralesional therapy using KTP laser have been described in treating voluminous haemangiomas.[67]
The level of evidence with respect to studies using various treatment modalities is given in Table 3.
