## Abstract ## Background and Objectives The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of cryogen spray cooled laser treatment (CSCβLT) at wavelengths of 585 nm vs. 595 nm for port wine stain (PWS) birthmarks in a large series of patients. ## Study Design/Materials and Method
The standard wavelength in the treatment of port-wine stains (PWS) with the pulsed dye laser is 585 nm. In many cases, the response to therapy is not adequate despite many treatments, depending partly on vessels out of reach of the laser. Longer wavelengths penetrate deeper into the dermis, but are
