| description | Haemangiomas are benign noncancerous vascular malformations of capillaries and are commonly present on the face. All types of lasers are suitable for the management of such vascular lesions. Here, we aimed to determine the effectiveness of a 980-nm diode laser for the treatment of Iraqi patients with facial haemangioma. This randomised trial was conducted at Laser Medicine Research Clinics, Iraq, from 15 October 2018 to 15 August 2019. The improvement of the condition at 6 months was the first endpoint. The patient's quality of life, diminished lesions, and safe administration of diode laser were the second endpoints. At follow-up, the lesions were less elevated, smoother in texture, and the colour had changed from red to pink. Based on these results, this laser is an effective and safe tool for the treatment of haemangiomas of the face. |
