    Hi gang. thought I might get some thoughts on this.

    Patient came in for a Hygiene appointment today. I asked her about her lip. She said, ” Oh, I have had it for about 3 weeks but it isn’t going away. I bit it. I was going to call my doctor.” “Dentists don’t treat lips though. Do they? “

    I have looked through the other threads on the forum regarding these sort of treatments but was hoping for a little more feedback from those of you who have tackled a few. I only have an Er:YAG by the way. Nd coming one day smile.gif

    I’ve always treated with the Nd:YAG (there are 2 of my cases on this site under Hemangioma).
    If using Erbium use a small tip.
    A few drops of LA. approach from lingual aspect of hemangioma. Need to create drainage and destroy enough of the Venus Lake so it won’t be able to refill, before the body can destroy. After entering the lesion, it should bleed, let drain, then re-enter and lase internal walls. Lasing less than a minute. There will be some post-op swelling, look ugy, but heal without scarring in about 3 weeks.
    Current issue of ESOLA shows complete ablation with CO2 of similar cases, looks like overkill to me.
