A Possible Mechanism

light we give in Table 1 the penetration depth at which the incident light intensity has reduced to 37% for the two wavelengths as a function of the blood volume.

The physical explanation for the phenomenon is that the fluence rate at the beam center deep within the tissue is well known to depend in part on the light scattered from near the radial beam periphery. This has been shown by the increase in fluence rate for greater laser beam di-

## Abstract ## Background and Objective Port wine stains (PWS) are heterogeneous vascular malformations that can be treated with vascular‐selective pulsed dye lasers (PDL). Hypertrophic PWS, especially in adults, are consistently less responsive to PDL. Furthermore, many PWS that respond well init

## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Pulsed dye lasers (PDL; 585 nm, 0.45 millisecond) are the treatment of choice for port wine stains (PWS). However, clearance rates vary widely and are in many patients incomplete. The objective of this prospective pilot study was to investigate the effects
