Objective: To chronicle the pathophysiologic changes that occur subsequent to laser treatment of vascular lesions, we used a confocal scanning laser microscope that yields high-resolution microscopic images of skin in vivo. Methods: Cherry angiomas were treated with the 585-nm flashlamp-pumped pulse...
