Treatment of Port‐Wine Birthmarks Using a Large‐Spot, Variable Sequenced, Long‐Pulsed <scp>KTP</scp>‐Laser—A Retrospective Analysis

This study highlights the potential of large-spot, variable-pulsed KTP as a safe and effective alternative for treating PWBs, demonstrating significant lesion lightening and surface area reduction. With no severe AEs observed, the findings suggest that this technology could complement or serve as an alternative to PDLs. Further prospective studies are warranted to optimize treatment protocols and evaluate long-term outcomes compared to PDL and other vascular treatment options.

Abstract

This study highlights the potential of large-spot, variable-pulsed KTP as a safe and effective alternative for treating PWBs, demonstrating significant lesion lightening and surface area reduction. With no severe AEs observed, the findings suggest that this technology could complement or serve as an alternative to PDLs. Further prospective studies are warranted to optimize treatment protocols and evaluate long-term outcomes compared to PDL and other vascular treatment options.
