✦ Synopsis

The flashlamp-pumped pulsed tunable dye laser has represented a significant advance in the treatment of port-wine stains (PWS). However, not all patients will respond. In this review, the clinical features influencing the response of PWS to the pulsed dye laser will be discussed. Theoretical and clinical data are presented to explain why not all PWS will respond to this laser. Methods to overcome the problems of non-responding PWS are suggested, including new treatment devices and techniques.

## 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

Despite steady improvement in the laser treatment of port wine stains (PWS), hypertrophic scarring remains a serious side-effect in approximately 10% of patients. The tunable dye laser (577 nm) has been shown to cause selective vascular destruction in normal and PWS skin. We have treated ten patient
