A Split-Face Study of Dual-Wavelength Laser on Neck and Facial Port-Wine Stains in Chinese Patients.

Background: Although pulsed dye laser (PDL) has long been regarded as the gold standard in treating port-wine stain (PWS), advanced PWS with deeper coloration may display resistance because of limited penetration depth of 585 or 595-nm light. Recently, a dual-wavelength laser system has been reported to achieve pronounced fading in many patients.

Objective: The objective was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a dual-wavelength laser device in treatment of neck and facial PWS in a direct side-by-side comparison.
