FDA has cleared a Candela 510(k) to expand the labeled indication of its Vbeam Pulsed Dye Laser for use of the 595 nm wavelength to include treating pediatric cutaneous capillary malformations, also known as port wine stains, and infantile hemangiomas/congenital hemangiomas. The company saysport wine stains affect one in every 300 infants, and over time usually get darker and thicker, making early onset treatment important for optimal results.
