Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) Treatment

Pulsed dye laser (PDL) can be considered when the port-wine stain presents as superficial red-purple patches, affects appearance, or shows gradual deepening, thickening, or nodule formation. The decision is usually made in combination with the depth and extent of the lesion, previous treatment response, skin type and location, age and cooperation, and whether the equipment and possible anesthesia plan are suitable.
