Introduction: The 595-nm wavelength pulsed dye laser (PDL) is well-established in the treatment of vascular lesions. In June 2023, it received FDA clearance for the treatment of port-wine birthmarks (PWB) and infantile hemangiomas (IH) in the pediatric population.
Objective: Review the evidence regarding the efficacy, safety, and implications of using PDL for management of pediatric PWB and IH.

Background: Hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy (Hemoporfin-PDT) is considered a safe and effective treatment for port-wine stains (PWS). This study aims to investigate the influence of prior pulse dye laser (PDL) treatments history on the effectiveness of Hemoporfin-PDT in young children aged 1-3 years with PWS.
Methods: Data was gathered for individuals with PWS aged 1-3 years who received two or more Hemoporfin-PDT treatments.

Importance: Port-wine stain (PWS) is a congenital vascular condition involving dilation of skin capillaries and venules, significantly affecting patients' physical and mental health. Pulsed dye laser (PDL) is widely used for PWS treatment; however, large-scale data on pediatric cases remain limited. This retrospective study aims to investigate the efficacy of laser treatment and its related factors in a large sample.

Article Synopsis
- Port-wine stains (PWS) are vascular birthmarks that can darken over time, and traditional treatments like laser therapy have mixed results and side effects.
- Hematoporphyrin Monomethyl Ether-Photodynamic Therapy (HMME-PDT) is a new approach showing promising results with fewer adverse effects by specifically targeting abnormal blood vessels.
- The review highlights the clinical effectiveness of HMME-PDT based on assessments, notes improvements in vascular lesions, and calls for further research to establish consistent treatment guidelines and long-term outcomes.
