✦ Synopsis

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 satisfactory test patch.

A total of 66 patients with port wine stains is reported. All of these were tested and 46 patients treated (80 treatments). Good to excellent results (significant lightening of color and/or smoother texture of skin) was achieved in 74% of tests (0 scar) and in 82% of treatments (4.3% scar). Treatmen

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
