## SUMMARY Previous studies assessing the treatment of portโwine stains (PWS) with the 585 nm pulsed dye laser have relied on either subjective clinical assessment or __in vivo__ measurement of skin colour alone. The aim of the present retrospective study was to develop an objective method of asses

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
## 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
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of cryogen spray cooled laser treatment (CSCโLT) 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
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Some reports have suggested that 1.5โmillisecond pulseโduration pulsedโdye lasers (PDLs) may have increased efficacy in treating portโwine stains (PWSs) as compared to previous generation lasers.We study the efficacy of the 1.5โmillisecond pulseโduration PD
