Pulsed dye laser (PDL) is the current treatment of choice for port-wine stains (PWS), but 25-50% treated lesions do not demonstrate a significant improvement. Hybrid lasers may improve efficacy, especially those using synergies between PDL and Nd:YAG 1064 nm laser. The objectives this study were to assess vessel wall damage epidermal sparing after dual wavelength with two lasers, different parameters.Post-treatment biopsies, platform that allows sequential pulses performed in five patients...
