Port Wine Stain

If you have not visited the clinic for laser teatments previously, please first book a free laser consultation so that our practitioner can create a bespoke treatment plan and perform a patch test. Port wine stains can be successfully treated with either Laser or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) at Harley Skin and Laser in Stoke on Trent. A port-wine stain is a red or purple mark on the skin. It is usually present from birth. About 3 in 1000 babies are born with a port-wine stain. Most occur on the face but any area of the skin can be affected. Port-wine stains affect males and females equally. They are not hereditary. Port Wine Stain treatment uses laser light to shut down the vessels making the port wine stain. Gradually over time the area of redness will fade. You will need several sessions of laser treatment to affectively treat Port Wine stains.
