PORT WINE STAINS USING LASER

Port wine stains are congenital vascular malformations that appear as flat, reddish-purple marks on the skin, often found on the face, neck, or limbs. Laser treatment is an effective method for reducing or eliminating the appearance of these stains by targeting the blood vessels responsible for their coloration.

Anaesthesia

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

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

Laser therapy uses concentrated light energy that is absorbed by the pigment in the blood vessels. This energy causes the vessels to coagulate, breaking them down and allowing the body to naturally absorb and eliminate them over time. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results.

Other Uses

Can also help 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 and individual response to treatment.
