## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Although cryogen spray cooling (CSC) in conjunction with laser therapy has become the clinical standard for treatment of port wine stain (PWS) birthmarks, the current approach does not produce complete lesion blanching in the vast majority of patients. The

Background and Objective: Despite application of cryogen spray (CS) precooling, customary treatment of port wine stain (PWS) birthmarks with a single laser pulse does not result in complete lesion blanching for a majority of patients. One obvious reason is nonselective absorption by epidermal melani
## Abstract ## Background and Objective Treatment of port wine stains (PWS) by photothermolysis can be improved by optimizing laser parameters. We have studied the allβimportant role of wavelength (Ξ») by performing pulsed laser photothermolysis in the vasculature of the chick chorioallantoic membr
Background and Objectives: Quantitative methods to assess port wine stain (PWS) skin response to laser therapy are needed to improve therapeutic outcome. In this study, PWS skin erythema was analyzed using erythema index difference (DEI: erythema index difference between PWS and normal skin) images
## Abstract ## Background and Objective Treatment of port wine stains (PWS) by photothermolysis can be improved by optimizing laser parameters on an individual patient basis. We have studied the critical role of pulse duration (__t__~p~) on the treatment efficacy. ## Study Design/Materials and Me
