INTRODUCTION The clinical presentation of morphea varies from localized plaques to generalized eruptions. Its cause remains unknown and medical treatments have often proved unsatisfactory. Studies have previously shown that improvement of hypertrophic scars and fibrotic skin can be achieved with the use of a 585 nm pulsed dye laser (PDL). METHODS A case of plaque-type morphea was treated with...

As a kind of congenital vascular malformations, Port Wine Stain (PWS) is composed of ectatic venular capillary blood vessels buried within healthy dermis. In clinic, Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) in visible band (e.g. 585 or 595 nm) together with cryogen spray cooling has become the golden standard for treatment of PWS. However, due to the limited energy penetration depth of the PDL, deeply buried blo...

introduction: basal cell carcinoma (bcc) is the most common cutaneous malignancy. proffered treatment for these lesions is surgery. based on patient’s age, drug allergies, and place of lesions, surgery may not be the best option, and alternative treatments should be considered. pulsed dye laser (pdl) may be a good alternative therapy. the aim of the present study was to determine the effectiven...

OBJECTIVE To report preliminary results regarding the safety and efficacy of the 585-nm pulsed-dye laser (PDL) for the treatment of juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP) in the pediatric population. DESIGN Prospective longitudinal cohort study. SETTING Two pediatric otolaryngology referral centers. PATIENTS Twenty-three pediatric patients ranging in age from 6 months...

Background and aim : The clinical management of verrucae vulgaris is often challenging and no treatment is always effective. Early studies have suggested that pulsed-dye laser (PDL) may be highly effective in the treatment of verrucae through obliteration of dilated vessels in papillary dermis. The objective of this study was to compare safety and efficacy of 585 nm with 595 nm PDL in the...

according to the english literature, various lasers and light sources (i,g. argon ion lasers, pulsed ktp lasers, diode lasers and nd:yag lasers, pulsed dye laser(pdl), intense pulsed light sources (ipls) are applicable for the treatment of different vascular lesions. these conditions are the most important indication for laser therapy. this review summarizes the current literature on ipl with r...

BACKGROUND Rosacea treatments including oral/topical medications and laser therapy are numerous but unsatisfactory. OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of the dual wavelength long-pulsed 755-nm alexandrite/1,064-nm neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser (LPAN) with that of 585-nm pulsed dye laser (PDL) for rosacea. METHODS This was a randomized, single-blinded, comparative study. Full ...

Pulsed dye laser (PDL) is an effective treatment for port- wine stain and can cause some short- term and long- term side- effects. Pyogenic granoluma is one of its late- onset adverse effects. Herein, we present two cases of pyogenic granoluma following treatment of port- wine stain with PDL.
