Abstract: Objective: To assess the clinical efficacy and adverse reaction of long pulse width 1064nmNd:YAG laser in the treatment of infantile hemangioma. Methods: The data of sixty-one cases with infantile hemangioma treated with long pulse width 1064nmNd:YAG laser with 3mm light spot, pulse width 30-40ms, energy density 180-220J/cm2, DCD30/20/30ms, once 4 weeks were analyzed retrospectively. The hemangioma in all patients was protuberant and superficial. Results：The improvement of 76%～100% was seen in 57 cases and of 51%～75% in 4 cases. The adverse reactions included transient blister, which was subsided during one to 10 days in 20 cases (32.79%), superficial scar formation in 9 (14.75%), depigmentation in 5 (8.20%), pigmentation in 4 (6.56%) and sparse hair or absence in 3 (4.92%). After 3 months of follow-up, pigmentation and scar were improved, but the sparse hairs were not significantly improved. Conclusion: Long pulse width 1064nmNd:YAG laser is an effective method in the treatment of infantile hemangioma, but the adverse reactions are more.
