Study Shows Promise of Once-Weekly PDL Treatments for Infants with Port-Wine Birthmarks
A recent study has shown promising results in the treatment of port-wine birthmarks in infants using once-weekly pulsed dye laser (PDL) treatments. The study demonstrated significant improvements in affected skin areas, with 70 percent of infants achieving near-total or total clearance after 2 months. Initiating PDL treatment early may lead to better outcomes, with infants under 3 months old experiencing fewer side effects. The once-weekly PDL treatment interval offers a safe and effective option for treating port-wine birthmarks in infants.
