Get in touch to learn more.
What Causes Port-wine Stains?
Port-wine stains are birthmarks that are formed by the collection of tiny blood vessels. When these vessels collect abnormally, they can result in large reddish-purple spots. These spots often appear on the face and neck but can be present in other areas of the body as well. Port wine stains develop at birth and their occurrence is impossible to control. However, their appearance can be reduced through laser therapy.
How Can Excel® V+ Help?
The excel® V+ system is our chosen device for addressing port wine stains. This laser is used to resurface and revitalize the skin through micro-pulsed light. This light treats redness, pigmentation, and other issues. The major benefit of this treatment is that it is non-invasive and causes little if any, side effects. Best of all, downtime is typically not needed after a session.
What to Expect
Treatment sessions with this device typically take 10-15 minutes to perform. This time may vary depending on the size and location of your port wine stain. Feeling a stinging sensation during treatment is common, but this sensation is tolerable for most patients. Several sessions may be needed to fully address your issue. We will work with you to coordinate an appropriate treatment schedule during your first visit to our office.
