✦ Synopsis

Ten patients with portwine stains (PWS) with test sites previously exposed to an argon laser were evaluated and subsequently treated with five pulsed dye (585 nm) laser treatments over a 10 month period. Clinical assessments, skin surface texture analyses using optical profilometry, and light microscopic histological evaluations were performed prior to commencement and at the end of the study in all ten patients. A change in the skin texture with return of skin markings approximating those of normal skin measured by optical profilometry was observed in the argon treated PWS skin following pulsed dye laser treatments.

To date, there are two fairly well-established alternatives for laserinduced shock-wave lithotripsy in clinical practice. The Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is distinguished by the high-stone selectivity of its coupler systems. The necessity of a coupler system and its fairly small conversion rate of light

## Abstract ## Background and Objective The role of pulsed dye laser (PDL) in the treatment of childhood hemangiomas is still controversial because of the inherent characteristics of hemangiomas as well as the side effects of the PDL. Recently, the long pulsed dye laser (LPDL) with cryogen spray c

## Background and objective: Sebaceous gland hyperplasia may be treated by cryotherapy, cauterization, topical chemicals, or excision. the major disadvantage of these therapeutic strategies is a considerable risk of postoperative scarring or dyspigmentation. the pulsed dye laser may be an effective

Lupus pernio, a form of cutaneous sarcoidosis usually affecting the face, is often disfiguring and resistant to therapies, both medical and surgical. To our knowledge, there have been no previous reports of laser therapy for this condition. We describe a case of nasal lupus pernio successfully manag
