Pulsed dye laser is the gold standard for treatment of port wine stain birthmarks but multiple treatments are required and complete resolution is often not achieved. Post-treatment vessel recurrence is thought to be a factor that limits efficacy of pulsed dye laser treatment of port wine stains. Imiquimod 5% cream is an immunomodulator with anti-angiogenic effects. To determine if application of imiquimod 5% cream after pulsed dye laser improves treatment outcome. Healthy patients with port wine stains (n = 24) were treated with pulsed dye laser and then randomized to apply post-treatment placebo or imiquimod 5% cream for 8 weeks. Chromameter measurements (CIE L*a*b* colorspace) for 57 port wine stain sites (multiple sites per subject) were taken at baseline and compared with measurements taken 8 weeks post-treatment. The change in a* and ΔE were measured to quantify treatment outcome. Two subjects developed minor skin irritation. Other adverse effects weren't noted. Average Δa* was 0.43 for pulsed dye laser + placebo sites (n = 25) and 1.27 for pulsed dye laser + imiquimod sites (n = 32) (p value = 0.0294) indicating a greater reduction in erythema with imiquimod. Average ΔE was 2.59 for pulsed dye laser + placebo and 4.08 for pulsed dye laser + imiquimod (p value = 0.0363), again indicating a greater color improvement with imiquimod. Effects were evaluated after a single treatment and duration of effect is unknown. Combined selective photothermolysis and anti-angiogenic therapy may enhance port wine stain treatment efficacy.
