Product catalog summary

Introduction
PHACE syndrome is a complex condition characterized by large segmental infantile haemangiomas on the face or head, accompanied by congenital malformations. It includes posterior fossa anomalies, haemangiomas, arterial anomalies, cardiac anomalies, and eye anomalies. The condition predominantly affects girls, and its cause is unknown. Diagnosis involves clinical examination, echocardiogram, ophthalmologic evaluation, and MRI/MRA scans. Patients require monitoring for developmental and neurological complications.

Case Report
The document presents a case of a young girl with a giant facial haemangioma. Over ten years, multiple plastic surgeries were performed, resulting in functional improvements but leaving hypertrophic scars and fibrosis. Laser treatments were employed to address these issues.

Materials and Methods
The patient underwent 10 sessions with a CO2 fractional laser and 5 sessions with an Nd:YAG long-pulse laser. The CO2 laser improved scar tissue by controlling vaporization depth and stimulating collagen production. The Nd:YAG laser targeted deep vascular structures, minimizing interaction with melanin.

Results
After the laser sessions, there was a visible reduction in fibrosis, scars, and tissue contracture, leading to improved skin elasticity and facial expressiveness. The Nd:YAG laser effectively reduced vascular stains, although treatment is ongoing.

Conclusions
Effective treatment of complex cases like PHACE syndrome requires multiple laser sources to target different tissue components. Lasers complement plastic surgery, playing a crucial role in therapeutic projects.

References
The document cites several studies and reviews related to PHACE syndrome, providing a foundation for the clinical case presented.

HACE syndrome, also known as cutaneous haemangioma–vascular complex syndrome or PascualCastroviejo type II syndrome, represents a spectrum of diseases. It is defined by the presence of a large segmental infantile haemangioma, usually on the face or head, in association with one or more congenital malformations. Schematically...

DEKA White Paper SMARTXIDE2 DOT/RF - SMARTXIDE TOUCH DOT/RF - SYNCHRO REPLA:Y scar tissue. By controlling the vaporisation depth and repair process, the fractional CO2 laser source reduced skin atrophy, levelling the edges of the fibrotic tissues. Thanks to the exclusive Pulse Shape Technology, the CO2 fractioned laser was also able to stimulate the production of new collagen, acting in depth and not just on the external part of the lesions. Several Z-plasty surgical treatments were also performed using a CO2 surgical handpiece (1.5”) and the High Pulse (HP) emission mode for ensuring perfect...

The patient has not yet finished the therapeutic laser procedures for removing all the vascular parts (Fig. 5). case has revealed how laser systems can create a task-force that is useful for completing a therapeutic project. It would be utopian to consider lasers capable of completely replacing plastic surgery; instead, laser devices play a leading role as complementary tools for complicated clinical cases. References 1.
