Hemangioma and port wine stains are vascular conditions that cause red or purple skin lesions and discolorations, usually on the face, scalp, chest, or back. Although harmless, they can cause some individuals to become self-conscious depending on their location.
To treat these conditions, Ozarks Dermatology Specialists utilizes the latest Cutera Excel® V laser to help eliminate or reduce the appearance of these marks. Using a series of treatments, spaced one month apart, the laser targets the affected blood vessels and pigments under the skin to eliminate or reduce redness over time. Results are long-lasting although there may be slight residual discoloration in rare cases.
Pre-authorization for insurance coverage will be filed if appropriate.
