Abstract

Numerical simulation of blood vessel heating is used to select the most efficient and safe methods of laser treatment of “port-wine stains”. Selective heating under radiation is calculated for a 980-nm diode laser, a Nd:YAG laser, a copper vapor laser (CVL), and a pulsed dye laser (PDL). The energy exposure range (fluence), the diameter and depth of vessels, at which their selective heating to the coagulation temperature is possible, are determined.
