Port Wine Stains & Birthmarks
 Vascular birthmarks are made up of blood vessels of different sizes in the skin. There are different types of birthmarks, such as Port Wine Stains and Strawberry Hemangiomas and they can range in color from flesh-colored to red, pink or purple. These can be a major aesthetic and sometimes functional problem, especially when they are on the face and can be emotionally devastating. In the past, people had to make due with coverup makeup. Now we can treat these Hemangiomas with our lasers. We treat both children and adults.
Duration of treatment will generally depend on the depth, location and color, as well as the patient's skin type and age, but generally patients should expect to have a course of multiple treatments to gradually fade the Hemangioma or Port Wine Stain.
Tattoo Removal
We offer laser tattoo removal with particular lasers that are specifically made for that purpose. With these we can remove tattoos better, more quickly and more effectively.
The laser light energy helps to break up the tattoo particles so your body can more easily remove them. This causes the tattoo to fade gradually with each treatment. The number of treatments needed and the response to treatment depend on the size, color, depth, location, age, type of pigment and amount of pigment in your tattoo. We’ll be better able to assess that when you come in for your evaluation.
As we treat, you may feel discomfort, and if necessary we’ll add an anesthetic, either applied or injected, to help with that. This treatment generally leaves less scar than other methods, and in fact there is usually little or no scar. We can treat all skin types and patients are usually very happy with this treatment.
