Treatment of Resistant Port-Wine Stains with a Pulsed Dual Wavelength 595 and 1064 nm Laser: A Histochemical Evaluation of the Vessel Wall Destruction and Selectivity

Abstract

Histochemical studies with NBTC stain can help the laser surgeon establish the best treatment parameters and understand some of the unwanted side effects. The dual wavelength used in this study showed efficacy, but better assessment of treatment parameters, such as the delay between the two lasers, is needed to avoid side effects.
