I generally have my patients follow strict sun protection and apply a bland ointment (such as Vaniply) after I treat my patients with PDL for their port wine stains.
I would say the most important component of skin care after a pulsed dye laser treatment of a port wine stain on the face would be sun protection. I would try and get a moisturizer with an SPF of at least 30 or even 45. If you feel like you need an ointment, such as bacitracin and don't want to use it because of an allergy, I would recommend aquaphor ointment.
When treating Port Wine Stain with pulse-dye laser, I recommend intense sun protection. Use high SPF and reapply regularly throughout the day. I find that my patients do well without any ointment, but if needed Aquaphor Healing Ointment is my recommendation.
There are many brands of bland moisturisers that do not contain an antibiotic. My preferred choices are QV, vaseline, aqueous cream, or paw paw ointment. I don't usually start sunscreen until day 5, as your skin can get irritated early on. All the bestDr Davin LimLaser Dermatologist

The PDL or pulse dye laser, most commonly referred to as the V Beam is ideal for red spots. As to your question as to how many times will it take, it really depends on the spots you are treating. I will give you a few examples-1. Spider naevi - one treatment2. Fixed rosacea- 3-4 treatments3....
The V-Beam is the gold standard for redness and rosacea. The old pulsed dye lasers left everyone bruised. The benefit of the newer lasers is that you can accomplish the same results with little or no bruising.It usually takes several treatments to get the best results.
One of the attributes of a scar that makes them noticeable is redness of the scar. Treatment with a vascular laser helps to reduce the redness. This takes at least several treatments but does help lighten the redness. The pulse dye laser and the excel v laser are two excellent lasers that help...
GENERALLY, purpura is proportional to the outcome. This especially applies to port wine stains and KP (keratosis pilaris) , it also applies to traced blood vessels, especially around your nose area. Purpura or bruising is also the end point for spider vessels, and red age spots. All these...
