Can pulse dye laser treatment be used for a hemangioma on the lip if the lips are red?

Asked By:selenalopez1229 in Baltimore, MD

I have a small hemangioma on the bottom of my lip. It's about pea size. Maybe a little smaller and I wanted to get pulse dye laser treatment done. However im afraid that it will cause discoloration of that spot on my lip.
