What is The Use of Variable Pulse Width Frequency Doubled Nd:YAG 532 nm Laser in the Treatment of Port-Wine Stain in Chinese Patients about?
## Background: Variable pulse width frequency doubled nd:yag 532 nm laser has previously been shown to be effective in the treatment of vascular lesions in caucasians. for dark-skinned patients, such as asians, its role has not been determined. ## Objective: To assess the clinical efficacy and complication rate of the 532 nm nd:yag laser in the treatment of port-wine stain in chinese patients. ## Methods: Chinese patients with port-wine stain who had undergone nd:yag laser treatment were called for questionnaire assessment of their degree of clearing and clinical examination for complications by two independent observers. for 22 patients with pre- and posttreatment photographs, the two independent observers further assessed the degree of clearing. ## Results: Assessment of the questionnaire indicated that 62.9% of the patients subjectively considered that they had more than 25% clearing, with 33.3% having more than 50% clearing. for those with pre- and posttreatment photographs, the objective degree of improvement was less impressive with 18.1% of patients having at least 25% improvement and only 13.6% having more than 50% improvement. pigmentary and texture changes were seen in bo
