About this trial
The primary objective of the present study is to get experiences with the use of CE-marked ADVATx laser treatment for port-wine stains.
Secondary objectives: To investigate the clinical efficacy of ADVATx laser treatment for port-wine stains.
To investigate the potential side effects (erythema, hyperpigmentation, oedema, pain, swelling, skin burning, blisters) of the treatment.
Patients in the study will receive ADVATx laser treatment (1 treatment per month for 4 months) The treatment takes approximately 10-30 minutes per session. The treatment lasts for a total of 5 months for one patient. At each treatment session photographic documentation will be performed. PRO will be assessed by a questionnaire. At the end of the study, the patient rates the treatment and improvement on a Patient Satisfaction Scale.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in lesion presentation measured by Investigator Global Assessment (IGA)
The IGA is a five-point scale from 0 (no change) to 4 (complete or nearly complete clearance). Three blinded dermatologists will review standardized clinical photographs to evaluate each treated area. Results will be reported as the average IGA score for each treatment method.
Secondary outcomes
Patient satisfaction score
Patients will rate their satisfaction with the treated area using a 0-6 scale, where 0 indicates no satisfaction and 6 indicates very satisfied.
Pain score during laser treatment measured by Visual Analog Score (VAS)
Participants will assess their pain during each treatment using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), which ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (the worst imaginable pain).
