## 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

✦ Synopsis
Treatment of the port wine stain with the argon laser still remains more of an art form than a scientific technique. Already, some very satisfactory results are being obtained, and these will be improved by greater accuracy in predicting those patients who will respond well to argon laser therapy and by the development of an optimal treatment technique.

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
## Abstract ## Background So far, pulsed dye lasers have been regarded as the gold standard in the treatment of port‐wine stains (PWS). Recently, intense pulsed light (IPL) has been reported to achieve more pronounced fading in some patients. ## Objectives To evaluate the efficacy and the side e
