Abstract

Background and Objectives

Some reports have suggested that 1.5‐millisecond pulse‐duration pulsed‐dye lasers (PDLs) may have increased efficacy in treating port‐wine stains (PWSs) as compared to previous generation lasers.We study the efficacy of the 1.5‐millisecond pulse‐duration PDL for treating PWSs.

Study Design/Materials and Methods

We treated 104 areas of involvement by PWSs in 95 subjects with the 1.5‐millisecond pulse‐duration PDL. Subjective and objective measures of improvement were utilized. Twenty‐one of these PWSs had failed treatment with earlier generation PDLs.

Results

PWSs previously refractory to the shorter pulse duration lasers responded well to treatment, as did PWSs not previously treated with any laser.

Conclusions

The 1.5‐millisecond pulse‐duration PDL is effective for treating PWSs and may offer improved efficacy over shorter pulse‐duration lasers. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract ## Background So far, pulsed dye lasers have been regarded as the gold standard in the treatment of port‐wine stains (PWS). Recently, intense pulsed light (IPL) has been reported to achieve more pronounced fading in some patients. ## Objectives To evaluate the efficacy and the side e
