✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The use of the argon laser in the treatment of the port wine stain is discussed and its mode of action and the features of a port wine stain, which may be used to predict a good response to therapy, are described.

Reference is made to the wide variation in techniques used in treatment in different centers and the need to establish precise physical parameters for therapy is stressed.

An attachment to the standard handpiece is described that will enable accurate power densities to be recorded.

Port wine stains are currently treated by the argon laser with the "point-by-point" technique, or the "painting technique." In both cases, the quality of the results depends greatly on the dermatologist's experience. Furthermore, the first technique is slow, and the second is painful and requires an

Photocoagulation using the argon laser has been proven to be an effective method for the treatment of port-wine stains (PWS). However, it is very difficult to reproduce the parameters of laser treatment. This leads to inaccurate energy dosages secondary to the difference in treatment patterns. The a
