Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a 595-nm flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser in the treatment of patients at different ages with port-wine stains (PWS).Methods A retrospective review was performed in 1560 patients with PWS who had been treated with a 595-nm flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser.Treatment parameters were selected according to the age of and types of lesions in patients.Results The total response rate was 76.73% (1197/1560) in all of the patients.Clinical efficacy of the flashlamppumped pulsed dye laser was closely correlated with patients'age (x2 =83.47,P < 0.01) and types of lesions (x2 =46.30,P < 0.01 ).There was a low incidence of adverse reactions which were well tolerable.Conclusion The 595-nm flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser is safe and effective for the treatment of PWS.
