Is Elite iQ laser effective for treating port wine stains?

December 9, 2022
Asked By:

Although it is most widely advertised as a hair removal treatment, I was reading about Elite iQ as an option to treat port wine stains. How does it compare with other laser treatments? I'd imagine the melanin recognition technology could be useful for something like this, because one of the main concerns with laser is that it could flare up the condition by creating worse pigmentation or causing burning.
