Port Wine Stain Removal
For most patients, multiple laser treatment sessions are required to effectively reduce the appearance of port wine stains. Children who undergo this procedure are usually put under general anesthesia and adults are typically put under local anesthesia. Dr. Shamouelian recommends seeking treatment for port wine stains as early as possible for optimal results. Children are known to respond more quickly to treatments. One of the most common laser treatment options is the pulsed dye laser. During this treatment, hemoglobin in the blemished area is absorbed by the laser in order to improve the skin tone. The number of treatment sessions needed is determined by the severity of the patient’s port wine stain condition.

Port wine stain treatment is an outpatient procedure. Patients go home immediately after each session. Most patients experience bruising and redness following each treatment session. This is completely normal and normally lasts anywhere between one or two weeks. Patients may also experience blistering or skin crusting, which could be treated by applying petroleum jelly or other topical medications. Laser treatment for port wine stain is proven to be very effective. After completing the series of treatments, skin appearance should improve by about 75 to 100 percent.
The cost of port wine stain treatment depends on multiple factors.
