Abstract
Sixty-two patients with port wine stains completed a questionnaire related to their flashlamp-pumped pulsed tunable dye laser treatment. The treatment was well tolerated by the majority. Forty-eight per cent of patients experienced some weeping or crusting after treatment. The major cause of morbidity was protracted bruising following treatment, and this caused a significant restriction of activities in 45% of patients.Keywords
