## Abstract ## Background and Objective: Portwine stain (PWS) response to flashlamp pumped pulsed dye laser (FPPDL) treatment is variable and unpredictable. Our aim was to develop a model to predict treatment outcome and the required number of treatments. ## Study Design/Materials and Methods: W

Test treatment of portwine stains (PWS) was performed with a microsecondpulsed dye laser at 577nm using a 2-mm spot diameter. Although selective coagulation of the erythrocytes occurred, this did not result in bleaching of the treated area. Massive destruction of the dilated capillaries is suggested
## Abstract Vascularβspecific lasers with pulse durations of between 300 and 500 microseconds are the treatment of choice for portwine stains (PWS), particularly in children. Although the discomfort felt following laser irradiation from a single pulse is transient, these sensations are intensified
