A port wine stain before and after comparison shows how these red vascular birthmarks fade with laser care. A port wine stain is a flat pink or red birthmark that shows from birth. It often appears on the face or neck and can darken over time. Many patients seek port wine stain removal to even out skin tone and reduce visible redness.
Dr. Rokhsar helped research and develop the Vbeam pulsed dye laser used for vascular marks. Our team treats these birthmarks during port wine stain removal. The Vbeam Perfecta laser handles the vessels behind the mark. Each set of images below shows actual patient outcomes from our practice.
Vbeam Laser for a Facial Port Wine Stain (Patient 1)
This is a long-standing port-wine stain on a 50-year-old man. His port-wine stain has been growing over the years causing significant issues as well as bleeding from the blebs. This is after 3 sessions with our v-beam laser with remarkable improvement. The after image shows the cheek with much fainter redness and a smoother surface where the raised blebs once sat. This port wine stain laser before and after result reflects the gradual fading these vascular marks show. Improvement builds over a series of v-beam treatments.
Pulsed Dye Laser of a Cheek Port Wine Stain (Patient 2)
This is a young lady with a vascular birthmark commonly know as a port-wine stain. We were able to clear this mark with 3 sessions of the v beam perfecta laser. The before image shows a reddish vascular patch along the lower cheek and jawline. In the after image the cheek tone looks even and the pink discoloration has settled into the surrounding skin. Results like this port wine stain removal before and after follow careful pulsed dye laser sessions spaced over time. The treated skin keeps its natural texture.
Stork Bite Port Wine Stain on the Scalp (Patient 3)
This 49-year-old man had two sessions of V-beam Perfecta laser to clear his vascular birthmark commonly referred to as a stork bite. The before image shows a pink vascular patch on the back of the scalp near the hairline. In the after photo the scalp tone looks uniform and the redness has faded into the surrounding skin. Outcomes like this stork bite removal show how the v beam perfecta fades vascular marks. Treatment like this suits vascular birthmarks on the scalp well.
Vascular Birthmark Removal on the Cheek (Patient 4)
A soft red vascular patch sits on the cheek beside the corner of the mouth in the before image. The border is diffuse and blends into the cheek. In the after image the redness has largely cleared and the cheek tone matches the surrounding skin. The treated area shows even color with no raised texture. Results like this reflect how port wine stains respond to vascular laser care over time.
