Intense pulsed light source for the treatment of dye laser resistant port‐wine stains

Abstract

Approximately half of a group of PWS patients, who did not respond to previous PDL treatments, obtained good or excellent clinical effect after four treatments with the IPL system. All PWS, except those located in the V2 area of the face, responded to the treatments. The IPL treatment modality was found to be safe and efficient for the treatment of PWS, except for those located in the V2 area.
