Port wine stains are capillary malformations which means they are composed of vessels of varying sizes and depth in the skin. Most do quite well with the pulsed dye laser (v-beam). Occasionally, one might hit a plateau with the pulsed dye laser and may need to use a deeper penetrating laser like the Nd-Yag. The most important thing to understand is that multiple treatments (4-15) may be necessary and sometimes the best that can be achieved is significant reduction in the port wine stain but not resolution. Good luck
I like the yellow laser the best but pulsed dye or excel V are good alternatives. IPL can work but often has higher recurrence rates. Best, Dr. Emer.
Traditionally, the VBeam®, or pulsed-dye-laser, has been considered the standard treatment for port-wine stains. However, the recent medical literature is now showing many studies where Nd:Yag laser (in combination with pulsed-dye laser, or not) is effective in larger or deeper port-wine stains. Please consult a board certified aesthetic dermatologist for a consultation.
Your answer lies in the video like below. I usually start of with a Pulse Dye Laser, then move on to other lasers if the stain is not responsive, including the 1064 Nd Yag laser. All the bestDr Davin Lim Laser and aesthetic dermatologistBrisbane, Australia.
Vbeam settings are dependent on the type of redness/vessels you are treating. I suggest you see an expert for evaluation. The settings described aren't standard. I find the yellow laser even better though. Best, Dr. Emer.
Vbeam and other vascular lasers do carry a bit of a wallop; this is necessary to seal off the vessels you want to get rid of. Bruising is possible-to-probable and generally occurs less in subsequent treatment of the same area.You can help reduce the level of bruising by following some pre and...
Vbeam is not affected by topicals however if someone did purpuric settings (ie you are very bruised) then you should consider avoiding topical treatments. Best, Dr. Emer.
There are many settings used for diffuse redness, thin small vessels on nose, thin vessels on face/cheeks, blue vessels. some stack the pulses or prolong them to get more improvement. this has to be individualized. Best, Dr. Emer.
This should be gone almost immediately if it didn't go away i would consider stronger on the vbeam or try the yellow laser. Best, Dr. Emer.
Vbeam laser is an excellent modality for patients who have rosacea, blushing of the skin, facial and body telangiectasia, spider veins, redness, post surgical redness, and skin flushing. It is a safe procedure that can be used at varying depths to help treat micro blood vessels in the skin. We...
