Pulsed dye laser and topical timolol gel versus Pulse dye laser in treatment of infantile hemangioma: A double-blind randomized controlled trial

Combination therapy of infantile hemangioma with pulsed dye laser with topical propranolol: a randomized clinical trial.

BACKGROUND The combination of pulsed dye laser (PDL) and topical propranolol are used with variable effectiveness for the treatment of infantile hemangiomas (IH), particularly for superficial lesions. OBJECTIVE(S) The aim of this study was to investigate whether the therapeutic efficacy of prescribing topical propranolol along with PDL was superior to PDL therapy alone in the treatment of IH....

Topical timolol solution versus laser in treatment of infantile hemangioma: a comparative study.

Lasers, 595-nm pulsed dye and 1,064-nm neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG), have been used successfully for the treatment of infantile hemangiomas (IHs). Recently the use of a topical β-blocker, specifically timolol maleate, has been promising in the treatment of IHs. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of topical timolol 5 mg/mL solution with that of combi...
