Description
Vbeam®, 595nm-long pulsed dye laser with adjustable pulse duration (ALPDL), is a kind of pulsed dye laser with 595nm wave length with maximum energy fluences of 40J/cm2. The pulse duration is adjustable from 0.45 ms through 40 ms and it is equipped dynamic cooling device® which makes the surface of the targeted skin cooled with tetrafluoroethane gas (−26.1°C). The longer wavelength allows the laser beam to penetrate deeper in the skin, and the longer pulse duration with high-energy fluences is considered to be optimal for damaging larger caliber vessels with less side effects such as pigmentation or scarring. ALPDL has 5 different round spot sizes and 3×10mm rectangle spot. Pigmented lesion handpiece has been developed for pigmented skin diseases such as senile lentigo which allows the pigmented lesion to be eliminated without impacting underlying blood vessels.<BR>ALPDL has been used to treat various skin diseases such as portwine stains, strawberry marks, teleangiectasia, senile lentigo, viral warts, acne, hypertrophic scar/ keloid, psoriasis, and photoaging, and proved to be effective for treatment of most of these diseases. We report here the efficacy and availabilities of ALPDL to these diseases.
