Efficacy of Sequential Combination of Long-Pulsed Potassium Titanyl Phosphate 532-nm and Quasi Long-Pulsed 1,064-nm Nd:YAG Laser Therapy for Port-Wine Stain Treatment: A Case Report
This case demonstrates the potential of a tailored, sequential combination of long-pulsed KTP 532-nm, quasi long-pulsed 1,064-nm Nd:YAG, and ablative Er:YAG 2,940-nm lasers for effectively managing complex PWS with associated hypertrophy and scarring. This multimodal approach, adjusting parameters to target specific lesion characteristics, suggests a promising strategy for achieving superior esthetic and functional outcomes in challenging PWS cases and improving patient quality of life.
