Port wine stains: a type of vascular birthmark caused by abnormal development of blood vessels in the skin. This can appear anywhere on the body, and it looks like a flat, red, or purple mark on the skin that is usually present at birth. The port-wine stain may become thicker and darken over time.

Heat is produced when well-controlled pulses of light are directed into the upper layer of the skin and are absorbed by the skin’s pigment and red blood cells. The heat produces a temporary injury, and the device stimulates the skin’s natural healing process.
Your skin sheds its dull and damaged outward layer as it heals and produces rejuvenated skin. The new collagen restores the skin’s youthful look and feel. You will be left with a smoother skin tone, healthier complexion, and less visible sun damage.
We recommend a minimum of 4 treatments to be had 4 weeks apart. You may notice evident changes in your skin after a single IPL Skin Rejuvenation session. However, we recommend repeated and continuous treatments for optimal long-lasting results.
