Possible Number of Recommended Sessions and Influential Factors of Hematoporphyrin Monomethyl Ether Photodynamic Therapy for Pulsed Dye Laser‐Resistant Facial Port‐Wine Stain
We propose that at least 4 HMME-PDT sessions could be recommended for patients with PDL-resistant PWSs, and the improvement after the first HMME-PDT session was the most evident compared with that after each subsequent treatment. Moreover, greater erythema and a greater number of previous PDL session were associated with poor HMME-PDT efficacy.
