Saw a dermatologist today for a hemangioma on my lip. I was told a vbeam laser would be the best option and I would need a few treatments, that it wont take it away but just make the bump smaller. Also that the vbeam is used for red color veins but my hemangioma is like a purple/blue mark. Im just so confused on what to do and what the best option is and which laser will completely take this away. Please help
