Port wine stains are currently treated by the argon laser with the "point-by-point" technique, or the "painting technique." In both cases, the quality of the results depends greatly on the dermatologist's experience. Furthermore, the first technique is slow, and the second is painful and requires anesthesia. Therefore, we have decided to design a robotized system with the following specifications: easy, fast, non-painful treatment giving a homogeneous and reproducible blanching. The system is made of a handpiece with the scanning mechanism and a control box with the microprocessor. The system is independent of the laser (no electrical connection) and has its own power meter. The deposit of energy was optimized in function of heat diffusion in the skin. Over a 12-month period, 123 patients were treated with the robotized handpiece. The treatment modalities and the results conformed to the above-mentioned specifications. Hypertrophic scars were not reported. Therefore, we think that this system will be an interesting tool for the laser treatment of port wine stains and other cutaneous angiodysplasias.
葡萄酒色斑目前采用氩激光的“逐点”技术或“涂抹技术”进行治疗。在这两种情况下，治疗效果在很大程度上取决于皮肤科医生的经验。此外，第一种技术速度慢，第二种技术会引起疼痛且需要麻醉。因此，我们决定设计一种具有以下规格的自动化系统：治疗简便、快速、无痛，能产生均匀且可重复的皮肤变白效果。该系统由带有扫描机制的手持件和带有微处理器的控制箱组成。该系统独立于激光（无电气连接），并有自己的功率计。能量沉积根据皮肤中的热扩散进行了优化。在12个月的时间里，123名患者使用该自动化手持件进行了治疗。治疗方式和结果符合上述规格。未报告有增生性瘢痕。因此，我们认为该系统将成为葡萄酒色斑及其他皮肤血管发育异常激光治疗的一个有趣工具。
