One hundred fourteen patients were studied to assess their perception of the results of argon laser therapy for port wine stains (PWS), tattoos, or essential telangiectasia of legs. At least 1 yr following treatment patients were surveyed using a 30-item mail questionnaire. A 91% response rate was achieved. The findings indicate that patients with PWS and tattoo treated with argon laser are moderately satisfied with the results and 85% of them would have treatment again. Laser therapy of these lesions should be continued. Treatment results of essential telangiectasia of the legs are disappointing and only 49% of patients would have treatment again. Discontinuance of argon laser therapy using the described techniques is recommended.
