Laser removal of port wine stains

Port-wine stains usually grow on the face. It is a congenital disease. The incidence rate is very high in children. Severe port-wine stains can affect a person's appearance. A large port-wine stain can also affect people's self-confidence and affect their lives. With the development of science, port-wine stains can be removed by laser.

Port wine stain is a type of capillary hemangioma. It usually appears at birth and is more common on the face and neck. Its presence not only affects a person's appearance, but also makes the patient feel particularly inferior to himself, so many people choose to treat it early.

The principle of laser treatment for port-wine stains is to use the selective photothermal effect of light on objects of different colors. Lasers with a wavelength of 530-600 nanometers or intense pulsed light are used to selectively act on the hemoglobin in the blood vessels, heating it and destroying the dilated blood vessels, while other skin tissues are not damaged, thereby clearing the dilated blood vessels.

The advantage of laser treatment for port-wine stains is that, compared with previous treatment methods such as freezing, artificial tattooing, surgical excision, drug injection, hardener, electrocoagulation, skin grinding, and laser non-selective photothermal effect, laser selectively treats port-wine stains, and no hypertrophic scars appear after treatment. It is more effective for superficial lesions, especially for port-wine stains in infants and young children, and the effect is often ideal.
