Dye Lasers

Tunable liquid lasers with organic compounds (i.e., dye) which have a strong absorption band, used as the active medium. During emission, the dye has to be optically excited by another light source (e.g., another laser or flash lamp). The range of the emission wavelength may be anywhere from the ultraviolet to the near infrared (i.e., from 180 to 1100nm). These lasers are operated in continuous wave and pulsed modes.

1.	Port-Wine Stain (Nevus Flammeus) 11/17/2021 - "However, most port wine stains are not completely cleared after pulsed dye laser therapy, owing to insufficient photocoagulation and laser-induced vascular regeneration and reperfusion. " 12/01/2012 - "Pulsed dye laser (PDL) is the most effective treatment for port wine stain (PWS) birthmarks. " 01/01/1998 - "Port wine stains can be treated successfully with the dye laser in most cases. " 01/01/2021 - "Although pulsed-dye laser (PDL) 595 nm is known as the gold standard for treatment of port-wine stains (PWS), complete clearance of lesions occurs in a minority of cases. " 08/01/2014 - "Pulsed dye laser is effective for treating port-wine stains, although the optimal timing is controversial. "
2.	Cicatrix (Scar) 09/01/2014 - "Pulsed dye laser was more effective in color of scar compared with AFL, which showed marked improvement in the contour of scar. " 10/01/2014 - "The mean Vancouver Scar Scale scores improved significantly from 8.0 to 4.6 and 8.2 to 4.7 with nonablative fractional and pulsed-dye lasers, respectively (p<0.001). " 09/01/2014 - "Pulsed dye laser and AFL treatments for surgical scar provide significant improvement. " 12/01/2010 - "One prospective pilot study of 11 patients with vocal fold scarring treated with the pulsed dye laser has also shown statistically significant improvement in subjective and objective voice measures, as well as laryngeal stroboscopy findings after treatment. " 11/01/2015 - "One study found superior efficacy of ablative fractionated laser treatment of surgical scars compared to pulsed dye laser while the others found equivalent efficacy when compared to dermabrasion or pulsed dye laser. "
3.	Telangiectasis (Telangiectasia) 07/01/2003 - ": Pulsed-dye laser treatment has been shown to be highly effective for the treatment of facial telangiectasia. " 11/01/2017 - "<p>Both pulsed dye laser (PDL) and intense pulsed light (IPL) systems have been demonstrated to be effective for treatment of facial telangiectasia, however there have been very few comparative studies between both treatments involving purely Asian patient populations. " 10/01/1997 - "The flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser (585 and 577 nm) has proven to be a very effective and safe treatment option in the therapy of essential telangiectasias (ETE). " 01/01/2018 - "Treatment with pulsed dye laser has shown good results in treating periscar telangiectasias, while treatment with KTP laser has never been studied for this complication. " 07/01/2003 - "Significantly, the variable-pulse pulsed-dye laser offers patients the option of effective treatment of some telangiectasia without bruising."
4.	Hemangioma (Angioma) 01/01/2012 - "Pulsed dye laser has proven effective in the treatment of ulcerated hemangiomas. " 04/02/2020 - "This study aims to determine whether 595-nm pulsed dye laser and 755-nm long-pulsed alexandrite laser in sequential therapy are safer and more effective for relatively deep or thick hemangioma. " 11/01/2016 - "Pulsed dye laser (PDL) treatment has been shown to be effective for the management of ulcerated areas of hemangiomas. " 01/01/2014 - "Pulsed dye laser has been proved to be fairly effective in the treatment of infantile hemangioma. " 04/02/2020 - "Sequential therapy with 755-nm pulsed dye laser and 595-nm long-pulsed alexandrite laser is a safe and effective treatment approach for relatively deep or thick hemangioma."
5.	Acne Vulgaris 03/01/2008 - "Acne is a very prevalent skin disorder, and several devices, such as blue light, pulsed dye laser, diode laser, LED, RF and pulsed light systems, have been reported to have varying degrees of efficacy for treatment. " 01/01/2008 - "Recent studies have demonstrated that pulsed-dye laser (PDL) treatment is beneficial for inflammatory acne treatment. " 06/16/2004 - "In this study, the nonpurpuric pulsed dye laser therapy did not result in significant improvement of facial acne. " 01/01/2021 - "Pulsed dye laser (PDL) was proved effective in the management of inflammatory acne. " 03/01/2006 - "The 585-nm pulsed-dye laser and the 1,450-nm diode laser have been found effective for the treatment of mild-to-moderate inflammatory facial acne. "
