## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Pulsed dye lasers (PDL; 585 nm, 0.45 millisecond) are the treatment of choice for port wine stains (PWS). However, clearance rates vary widely and are in many patients incomplete. The objective of this prospective pilot study was to investigate the effects
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
