Port Wine Stain

Port Wine Stain

A port-wine stain is a red or purple mark on the skin caused by localised blood vessel problem in which the tiny blood vessels (capillaries) in port-wine stains remain dilated (wide).

Port-wine stains vary in size from a few millimetres across to many centimetres. Their colour can vary from pale red to deep purple. If left untreated, port-wine stains tend to darken over the years as the blood flow through them becomes more sluggish.

Port Wine Stain treatment at Quang Minh Clinic

People still use skin camouflage cream to disguise port wine stain that gives them significant self-confidence. Treatment with laser is also a good option that will lead to variable improvement. A special fine laser can destroy the tiny widened blood vessels. Laser treatment may not clear the port-wine stain completely and repeat treatments are often needed over the years to come.

Treatment process

You will be consulted about technique and treatment process.

Apply skin anesthesia cream and wait for around 30 minutes.

Scan Erbium:YAG laser onto the scarred area. This step will last from 30 minutes to hours depending on area width.

Apply antiseptic and instruction for self-care at home.

Questions & Answers

  • 1. Effectiveness of laser treatment?

    Treatment works best in young children when the port-wine stain is new and flat. Children as young as two months old can be treated. It works less well in adults who have had a port-wine stain for a number of years, which may have become bumpy and raised. Treatment tends to work best on smaller port-wine stains of the face and less well on the arms and legs. Generally, the paler the port-wine stain, the greater the chance of excellent results.

  • 2. How many treatments are needed?

    From 4 to 10 treatments are needed depending on the size. Treatments are given about eight weeks apart.

  • 3. Will I experience skin stinging, burn or scar?

    The laser can cause an unpleasant stinging. There may be pain, bruising and swelling over the treated area for a while after each session.

  • 4. Cost per treatment?

    Cost per treatment varies depending on size and thickness of the port wine stain. Each treatment might cost from VND 1.000.000 to 2.000.000
