Abstract

The pulsed-dye laser has been a first choice treatment of a port-wine stain (PWS) since a quarter century ago, and the long-pulsed dye laser with a cold air cooling system is seen as the gold standard treatment for a PWS currently. Selectively the laser irradiation damaged an ectatic blood vessels of PWS without scarring, but the dye laser were limited to a depth and diameter of ectatic blood vessels. We observed significant redarkening of a PWS at long-term follow up after the dye laser therapy. Finally practical problems in dye laser treatment of PWS were discussed.
