PORT WINE STAINS

Port wine stains are congenital vascular malformations that appear as flat, reddish-purple marks on the skin. Laser treatment is a highly effective method for reducing the appearance of these stains by targeting the underlying blood vessels with concentrated light energy.

Anaesthesia

Topical anaesthesia may be applied for comfort, and cooling devices are often used to minimize discomfort.

Side Effects

Possible temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment site, which typically resolves quickly.

Treatment Time

Approximately 30-60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas treated.

Target Areas

Commonly treated on the face, neck, and other visible areas where port wine stains occur.

Downtime

Minimal; patients can usually resume normal activities immediately after treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How it Works

The laser breaks down the pigment in the blood vessels, allowing the body to absorb and eliminate them over time. This results in significant lightening of the stain and improved skin appearance.

Other Uses

Can also improve the overall skin texture in the treated areas.

Consistency

Multiple sessions may be necessary, spaced a few weeks apart, depending on the severity of the stain.
