Port Wine Stains

What are Port Wine Stains?
Port Wine Stains are enlarged red-blue capillary hemangiomas that resemble a map. They are usually a pink-red color at birth and darken to a red-purple color by several years of age.

Where are Port Wine Stains Found?
They usually are found on the face but can occur anywhere on the body

What Causes Port Wine Stains?
Port Wine Stains are caused by an overgrowth of blood vessels in the affected region. They do not fade or go away but can be removed with laser therapy or surgery. Later in life, these birthmarks may thicken and bleed easily.

How Does The Laser Clinic Treat Port Wine Stains?
The Laser Clinic lasers feature innovative ultra-long pulse duration, the longest offered in a laser that treats Port Wine Stains. This means that each pulse delivers laser energy to target the affected area over longer periods of time, resulting in a gentle heating effect and uniform results. By heating targeted blood vessels more gently, The Laser Clinic avoids the downtime that bruising may cause (otherwise known as purpura).

What Kind of Results Can I Expect?
The Laser Clinic combines large laser spot sizes with the ability to vary laser pulse durations. This allows treatments to be quick, effective, and comfortable. Results may vary based on your individual situation. Please contact us for details.
