Abstract
Since the first construction of a laser by Maiman in 1960 and the first clinical application of a laser in the therapy of skin lesions by Leon Goldman, laser therapy has become an important therapeutic modality in dermatology. Various lasers can be used for the treatment of different vascular and non‐vascular lesions. According to our results, vascular lesions constitute the most important indication for laser therapy in dermatology (1).Keywords
