How does laser work?
The v beam laser uses an intense beam of light. Port wine stains, strawberry hemagiomas and spider veins are all forms of vascular lesions.

What is pigmented lesion?
Pigmented lesions are caused by a proliferation of melanocytes in the skin. Melanocyes are the cells that manufacture melanin, which is the dark pigment in skin. Most of us have some form of pigmented lesion. They include brown age spots, freckles, and moles.

How many treatments are required?
This depends on the size, location, depth and color of your lesion. Spider veins on the face and age spots generally do well with one or two treatments, while darker or deeper birthmarks may require additional treatments. Treatments should be placed several weeks apart to allow your body to remove the maximum amount of pigment cells. You will continue to see a lightening of your lesion after each treatment as your body disposes of the light pigment cells.

What results can be expected?
Most patients will see improvement in their vascular and pigmented lesions. The improvement can be quite dramatize. However, as with any surgical procedure, there is always a possibility that only minor changes will occur and in rare cases there is no response.
