Near-infrared selective photothermolysis for the treatment of ectatic blood vessels, for example, blood vessels of a portwine stain birthmark. This technique is especially applicable to deeper lying blood vessels in view of the better penetration of the near infrared light. Consequently, vessels are below a dermal/epidermal boundary can be reached. Near-infrared is defined as a range of approximately 700 to 1,200 nm. The optimal colors are near 760 or between 980 to 990 nm for most populations.
