The effects of pulse dye laser double-pass treatment intervals on depth of vessel coagulation.

Background And Objective: Multi-pass treatments with pulse dye lasers (PDLs) are avoided due to perceived side effects. Proper multi-pass techniques allow for deeper vascular injury. New extended PDLs allow use of multi-pass procedures.

Multipass treatment of photodamage using the pulse dye laser.

Background: Pulse dye lasers (PDLs) alter structural proteins in scars and photodamaged skin, in addition to their effects on dermal vasculature. The PDL has become an option in the treatment of photodamage. Although improvements to skin texture are generally modest when compared with ablative resurfacing, PDL offers a treatment with few side effects.

Evaluation of pulse-duration on purpuric threshold using extended pulse pulsed dye laser (cynosure V-star).

Background And Objectives: Pulsed dye lasers (PDL) with extended pulse-durations create new opportunities in the treatment of vascular lesions. Development of extended pulse methods requires understanding of tissue effects of extended pulse-durations. We evaluated tissue effects of extended pulse-duration PDL (EPDL) with cooling.
