Laser Removal of Port Wine Stains

Laser Removal of Port Wine Stains

A port wine stain is a birthmark, occurring once in every 200 to 400 births. It consists of malformed, dilated blood vessels in the skin. Anyone can be born with a port wine stain and it is not contagious. Nature helps.

The laser light used in this treatment is readily absorbed by the dark blood vessels that make up the port wine stain. The energy from the laser breaks up the vessels without damaging the surrounding, normal skin. The treated blood vessels are soon absorbed into the body through the natural healing process.
