“…59 Indeed, an increase in PDL pulse width from 0.45 milliseconds to 1.5, 3, and 10 milliseconds has been noted to cause improvement in treatment outcome. 55,57,60–62 However, the therapeutic benefit may be limited to vessels greater than 30 µm in diameter. 57 It is also important to note that higher fluences may be required when using longer pulse durations.…”

Port wine stains (PWS) are the most common vascular malformation of the skin, occurring in 0.3% to 0.5% of the population. Noninvasive laser irradiation with flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye lasers (selective photothermolysis) currently comprises the gold standard treatment of PWS; however, the majority of PWS fail to clear completely after selective photothermolysis. In this review, the clinically used PWS treatment modalities (pulsed dye lasers, alexandrite lasers, neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet lasers, and intense pulsed light) and techniques (combination approaches, multiple passes, and epidermal cooling) are discussed. Retrospective analysis of clinical studies published between 1990 and 2011 was performed to determine therapeutic efficacies for each clinically used modality/technique. In addition, factors that have resulted in the high degree of therapeutic recalcitrance are identified, and emerging experimental treatment strategies are addressed, including the use of photodynamic therapy, immunomodulators, angiogenesis inhibitors, hypobaric pressure, and site-specific pharmaco-laser therapy.

“…Superficial and large diameter blood vessels respond best to pulse dye laser (PDL) (585-595 nm). Recent studies indicate that intense pulse light therapy (555-950 nm) may have similar efficacy to PDL therapy for the treatment of PWSs [5,6]. The clinical appearance of the PWS provides clues to blood vessel size.…”

Lasers and flashlamps are the mainstay of treatment of vascular malformations of the skin. A thorough understanding of the principles of selective photothermolysis will allow the laser practitioner to use the right device with appropriate wavelength and pulse duration at right fluence to effectively and safely treat the vascular lesion in their patients. In this chapter we will focus on use of such lasers in the treatment of vascular indications. Keywords

Abstract: In PWS resistant to dye laser therapy, IPL showed additional lesion clearance. The use of IPL increases the therapeutic possibilities in PWS.
