Particularly, the best results were observed in patients with dark hypertrophic PWS which showed significant improvement; the worst results were obtained in patients with flat PWSs. It is likely that these malformations with small, deep vessels show no improvement in this type of laser with longer thermal relaxation time. Li et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0100"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> compared 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. They concluded that LPPAL works best with hypertrophic, purple PWS, while LPPDL yields better clinical improvements with the flat, pink PWS but a risk of dyspigmentation exists when using the LPPAL. Due to the depth of penetration of the Alexandrite laser in the skin and its capacity to produce deep dermal damage, including scarring, it is important to use a correct tissue response endpoint. A transient gray color that evolves into deep purpura is the optimal clinical endpoint and it may be observed after 1 or 2<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>min of watchful waiting after test pulse.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0105"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a></p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We agree with these authors and accept the correct therapeutic clinical endpoint with a transient gray color that gradually evolves into persistent deep purpura. This endpoint was correlated with a coagulation and wall destruction of dermal vessels with preserved epidermis in the histochemical analysis. However, a suboptimal clinical endpoint (immediate slight gray color that immediately fades) showed absence of dermal vessel wall destruction and/or coagulation. An overtreatment area (persistent gunmetal gray color) showed coagulation and wall destruction of dermal superficial vessels with epidermal damage. The same laser settings in different patients got different clinical endpoints, grades of clinical improvement and histochemical selectivity. Maintaining the same laser parameters, we observed a different clinical response for each patient and a different histochemical selectivity. For this reason, careful attention to tissue response endpoints and constant readjustment of fluences based on such responses are important during the course of each treatment. The reasons for such difference in responses remain unknown but illustrate the considerable intralesional heterogeneity of PWS.</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Tierny et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> treated 8 patients with PDL resistant PWSs with long pulsed Alexandrite laser with similar results to our study.

Serious side effects were infrequent.</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">When using the correct skin cooling cryogen spray parameters for epidermal protection and teaching the precise clinical endpoint, the treatment with 755-nm Alexandrite laser produces relatively few serious complications.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0120"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a> All the patients display some pain, edema, transient purpura and erythema during or after therapy. If necessary, treatment can be performed under topical or general anesthesia or with the use of preoperative narcotic analgesics and sedatives. Permanent removal of dark hair is expected and should be discussed with the patient prior to treatment. Occasional mild superficial blistering and subsequent mild desquamation and transient or long-lasting pigmentation changes are other side effects that may occur despite the use of the correct endpoint.</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although serious side effects are rare after Alexandrite laser treatment, the use of a supra-therapeutic clinical endpoint is likely to produce a dermal burn and skin necrosis that could lead to scarring. In our series of cases, there was one case of minimal scarring.
