Abstract
Experience in the setting up of a laser facility for the treatment of port wine stains is presented. Clinical material relative to the natural history of the port wine stain lesion is discussed. Results obtained in 202 patients treated with the argon laser are studied and photographic results presented. Methods of clinical evaluation are offered. Clinical parameters affecting results are identified. The relationship between test spot results and treatment areas is demonstrated. Treatment strategy is mentioned. The argon laser therapy of port wine stains is a valid technique justifying further work to establish age limits and other clinical features which may affect results.Keywords
