Intense pulsed light source for the treatment of dye laser resistant port-wine stains.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the efficacy of an intense pulsed light (IPL) irradiator system for the treatment of port-wine stains (PWS) resistant to multiple pulsed dye laser (PDL) treatments. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen PWS patients, who were previously found to be resistant to multiple PDL treatments, were treated four times with a second generation IPL sy...
متن کاملLaser treatment of port-wine stains
Port-wine stains are a type of capillary malformation affecting 0.3% to 0.5% of the population. Port-wine stains present at birth as pink to erythematous patches on the skin and/or mucosa. Without treatment, the patches typically darken with age and may eventually develop nodular thickening or associated pyogenic granuloma. Laser and light treatments provide improvement through selective destru...
متن کاملPulsed 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 کاملTreatment Using a Long Pulsed Nd:Yag Laser with a Pulsed Dye Laser for Four Cases of Blebbed Port Wine Stains
Port wine stains (PWS) are congenital capillary malformations consisting of ectasia of capillaries and venules. At birth,lesions are flat and relatively uniform in color, but evolve with age to become raised, thickened, irregularly surfaced, and deeply colored. Therefore, it is considered optimal to begin treatment of patients at an early age. Conventional treatment modalities, such as electroc...
متن کاملClinical analysis of port wine stains treated by intense pulsed light.
BACKGROUND Port wine stains (PWS) are formed by dilation and malformation of dermal capillaries without endothelium proliferation. Despite the improvements in lasers and light therapy for PWS therapy in the past 10 years, the 'cure' rate is only about 10%. Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a non-coherent light based on the theory of selective photothermolysis. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy o...
