- Abstract
Ecchymosis is a common side effect after injury and surgery. A pulsed dye laser (PDL) is the gold standard for vascular lesions and can minimize ecchymosis. Heating induces hemoglobin modification due to oxidative and heat reactions with the formation of bilirubin and methemoglobin, resulting in color changes to brown-yellow. Therefore, downtime following cosmetic procedures can be shortened.
