How does it work?
When a laser beam is directed towards a vascular formation, it absorbs in the haemoglobin. This causes a heat effect. The heat coagulates the tissue and destroys the vascular lesion. In the case of small capillaries the vessel simply dissapears. When a vessel or vascular formations is bigger, a small bruise forms, which is then removed by the immune system in the following days or weeks. The suitable time to perform the treatment is between autumn and spring.
About the procedure
Port wine stain or naevus flammeus is an inborn vascular malformation. We recognize it by a red or violet plaque-like appearance. PWS most oftenly occurs on the skin of the face, where it can cover quite a big area. In these cases it can have a great impact on one’s self-image. Laser therapy is the treatment of choice and it is the only method which enables elimination of the lesion without harming the skin.
The number of treatment sessions, needed to remove the PWS depends mostly on the size of the lesion. Prior to procedure there are no preparations. After the treatment there is oedema and redness of the treated area, therefore you should cool the skin with ice-packs and use a special healing cream for the next 3 days. If the treat area is big and exposed, we suggest staying at home for a few days.
First appointment
Upon arrival, each patient first undergoes a clinical and dermoscope examination of the skin or vascular lesion, according to which the proper procedure is chosen.
