## Abstract ## Background So far, pulsed dye lasers have been regarded as the gold standard in the treatment of portโwine 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

## Background and objective: The pulsed dye laser is effective and safe in the treatment of port-wine stains. it is the laser of choice for port-wine stains and initial superficial hemangiomas in children. for the treatment of darker port-wine stains in adults that have not responded to pulsed dye
## 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 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
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
