## 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

## SUMMARY Previous studies assessing the treatment of portโwine stains (PWS) with the 585 nm pulsed dye laser have relied on either subjective clinical assessment or __in vivo__ measurement of skin colour alone. The aim of the present retrospective study was to develop an objective method of asses
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
## Background and objectives: Laser-induced photo thermal damage has been combined with photodynamic therapy (pdt) using a systemic photosensitiser to treat vascular lesions. the efficacy of pdt using systemic 5-aminolaevulinic acid (5-ala) as the photosensitiser and pulsed dye laser (pdl) as the l
