How does Diolite Laser Work?
This Laser generates an intense beam of light which brings energy to a specific site through a hand piece connected to the laser console. The laser light is absorbed by oxyhemoglobin (bright red blood cells carrying oxygen) and melanin/pigment (black or brown pigment found in the skin). This heat absorption causes decomposition or destruction of unwanted cells while leaving healthy cells intact.

The problem with hemangiomas or general "angiomas" is that these tend to be thicker lesions thich can penetrate below the level of the skin. The pulsed dye laser will penetrate about 0.7mm into the skin which essentially treats only the top layers of the skin (epidermis and papillary dermis). This is why it can be so difficult to treat these type of vascular lesions with a pulsed dye laser.
A better option would be to combine the pulsed dye laser with a Nd:YAG laser which can penetrate about 10mm into the tissue, depending on the laser settings. Because of the deeper penetration, the Nd:YAG can treat the deeper component of the lesion and give a better and more reliable result

Having used all of these devices, I recommend the pulsed dye laser or Nd:YAG.
