BACKGROUND: Despite good results in the treatment of most port-wine stains (PWS) with continuous-wave visible-light lasers, light PWS and those in certain locations respond less favorably and have a higher risk of scarring. Robotized scanning devices such as the Hexascan device have been developed for continuous-wave laser sources to produce greater target specificity, to increase reproducibility of results, and to decrease the incidence of adverse effects.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of the same wavelength of light (585 nm) on test sites within PWS with the flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser and a continuous-wave tunable dye laser scanned through a Hexascan robotized scanning device.
METHODS: Two adjacent, noncontiguous sites within PWS were treated in 29 patients, one site with the flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser and the other with an argon-pumped continuous-wave tunable dye laser affixed to a Hexascan device.
RESULTS: Twenty-eight patients completed the study. The pulsed dye laser was found to be superior to the continuous-wave dye laser with the Hexascan device in 45% of patients, whereas the continuous-wave tunable dye laser with the Hexascan device was considered superior in 15%. There was no difference in the remaining 40%. Undesirable side effects were infrequent with both treatments. There was no significant difference in hypopigmentation or atrophic and hypertrophic scarring, but hyperpigmentation was more frequent with the continuous-wave dye laser with the Hexascan device.
CONCLUSION: Both the pulsed dye laser and continuous tunable-wave dye laser with the Hexascan device produce slight lightening after one treatment. The pulsed dye laser produces slightly greater lightening than the continuous-wave tunable dye laser with the Hexascan device 6 weeks after treatment of test areas within PWS in 40% of those treated. It also produced slightly less hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation.
