Pulsed dye laser therapy for port-wine stains in children.
The port-wine stain is a disfiguring vascular birthmark that commonly occurs on the face. Amelioration of this condition in children was difficult or impossible until the introduction of the flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser in the late 1980s. This article provides an interdisciplinary social and ethical examination of pulsed dye laser therapy for port-wine stain in childhood. Specific issues r...
متن کاملReal-time photothermal imaging and response in pulsed dye laser treatment for port wine stain patients.
BACKGROUND This study was performed to assess the photothermal response of highly focused laser energy using infrared thermal imaging instrument to detect and assess the actual temperature distribution during flash lamp pumped pulsed dye laser (FLPPDL) treatment for port wine stain (PWS) patients and avoiding its complications. METHODS A retrospective review of 40 patients with PWS birthmark ...

متن کاملCombined benzoporphyrin derivative monoacid ring photodynamic therapy and pulsed dye laser for port wine stain birthmarks.
BACKGROUND Pulsed dye laser (PDL) is a commonly utilized treatment for port wine stain birthmarks (PWS) in the United States; however, results are variable and few patients achieve complete removal. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is commonly used in China, but treatment associated photosensitivity lasts several weeks and scarring may occur. We propose an alternative treatment option, combined PDT+P...
متن کامل[Laser treatment of port wine stain].
Laser treatment of vascular skin lesions is rapidly improving. Port wine stain (PWS) is one of the first lesions successfully treated with laser. The pulsed dye laser (PDL) has been developed on the concept of selective photothermolysis and has revolutionized PWS treatment. Even though the response is variable, substantial blanching can be obtained after several sessions. Greater selectivity an...
