Hypopigmentation was seen in one area treated with LPPAL, but not in any of the areas treated with LPPDL. Hyperpigmentation was seen in two areas treated with LPPDL and in three areas treated with LPPAL. Both LPPDL and LPPAL treatment are effective in the treatment of PWSs. The patients' PWSs were evaluated for efficacy of elimination of erythema and for treatment-related side effects. One section of each patient's PWS was treated with LPPDL and another section was treated with LPPAL. Eleven patients with Fitzpatrick skin types III-IV were enrolled in this study. In the present study, we compare the efficacy and complications of the long- pulse pulsed dye laser (LPPDL) and the long- pulse pulsed alexandrite laser (LPPAL) in the treatment of PWSs. Recently, a long- pulse pulsed alexandrite laser was used to treat bulky vascular malformations. Port wine stains (PWSs) are commonly treated by the pulsed dye laser.
