The current modality of choice for the treatment Port-wine stains (PWS) is laser photocoagulation. Laser therapy PWS, especially with a pulsed dye (PDL), has been proven safe and effective; however, because penetration PDL too shallow an effective ablation blebs, blebbed using PDL, may be insufficient.We demonstrated clinical efficacy 1,064 nm long Nd:YAG contact cooling device PWS.Twenty one patients PWS (Fitzpatrick skin types II-V) underwent treatment, at 8-week intervals. Treatments were done 5~6 mm spot sizes 20~30 ms 95~170 J/cm(2). parameters adjusted in order to meet needs each individual patient's lesions.All subjects tolerated treatments well, showed improvement from blebs. Of 21 patients, 18 them experienced either moderate or excellent response.Use results greater depth vascular coagulation. A regarded as promising therapeutic option PWS.
