## 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
Background and Objective: This report presents analytical modelling of the influence of wavelength on the amount of volumetric rate of heat produced in dermal blood vessels by millisecond laser radiation. ## Study designlMaterials and Methods: A new anatomical model is proposed that represents po
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
The role of the argon laser for the treatment of port wine stain (PWS) is reviewed in relation to the Southampton regime, which is based on finding the minimal blanching power. Both the advantages and limitations of this form of treatment are discussed, stressing the importance of first obtaining a
