BACKGROUND Port-wine stains respond quite well to 585 nm pulsed dye laser treatment, but often clearance is not complete. We investigated a prototype, a high-energy 595 nm pulsed dye laser capable of delivering Up to 9.5 J/cm(2) using a 10 mm circular spot, with a 1.5 ms pulse duration.OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to determine if the high-energy, 595 nm, variable-pulse duration pulsed dye laser could improve port-wine stains that had become refractory to conventional treatment.METHODS Twenty patients were entered into the study and treated with the high-energy, 595 rim, variable-pulse duration pulsed dye laser using fluences ranging from 75 to 9.5 J/cm(2), a 1.5 ms pulse duration, and a 10 mm spot size.RESULTS Average improvement was rated as 40% prior to the initiation of the study after an average of 8.8 treatments at an average energy of 7.9 J/cm(2) with the 585 nm pulsed dye laser and 76% following an average of 3.1 treatments with the high-energy 595 nm pulsed dye laser using an average fluence of 7.9 J/cm(2). Dermal spectrometer erythema measurements improved from 2.2-fold that of normal skin to 1.5-fold that of unaffected skin.CONCLUSIONS The high-energy 595 nm pulsed dye laser improves port-wine stains that have become refractory to the conventional 585 nm pulsed dye laser.
