  • Title: [The pulsed dye laser--possibilities and limits].
    Author: Hellwig S, Petzoldt D, Raulin C.
    Journal: Hautarzt; 1997 Aug; 48(8):536-40. PubMed ID: 9378633.
    Abstract:
    The pulsed dye laser (wavelength 585 nm, pulse duration 0.3-0.45 ms) is very effective in the treatment of port-wine stains, beginning hemangiomas, telangiectasias, spider nevi, xanthelasma and red hypertrophic scarring. It is the laser of choice in the therapy of young patients with port-wine stains. The pulsed dye laser is limited by its relatively superficial penetration into the skin with a maximum of 1.5 mm.
