About one in 500 children is born with a port wine stain!
Some people find port wine stains unsightly, and especially large stains can certainly attract attention, especially since this birthmark is commonly found on the face. For someone with a port wine stain, the birthmark can seem to disfigure or lead to discomfort in social situations. For this reason, some people choose to continue treatment to have a more conventional appearance. Others may choose to embrace the abnormality as a visible sign of their differences from others. Port wine stains treatment in Dubai & Abu Dhabi gives many options for treatment of this abnormality.
What are Port Wine Stains?
A port wine stain is a pink or purple birthmark on the skin. It is also referred to as nevus flammeus. Port wine stains are present at birth. In most cases, they are harmless. But sometimes, they can be a sign of an underlying health condition.
Depending on the location of a port wine stain, it can be perfectly harmless, or it can lead to complications later in life. In some cases, the birthmark is also a sign of a more serious underlying condition that needs to be addressed.
Port Wine Stain Treatment Before & After:
The treatment can help lighten the stains but even with laser treatment, it cannot completely vanish. Regardless of their cause, wine stains are sometimes removable with Laser Treatments. These may not completely get rid of port wine stains, but they can help make them less noticeable.


Ideal Candidate:
The treatment is recommended for someone who:
- Has port wine stains on body or face by birth
- Is an adult not having any medical conditions
- Does not smoke
- Is mentally and physically healthy
- Is not a new mother or currently pregnant
- Has realistic expectations about the results
Symptoms:
Port-wine stains generally do not cause any symptoms other than their appearance. They usually start red or pink. Over time, they can darken to a purple or brown color. Other characteristics of port wine stains include:
- The size can vary from a few millimeters to several centimeters.
- These stains tend to appear on one side of the face, head, or neck. They can also affect the abdomen, legs, or arms.
- They start flat and smooth but can become thicker or slightly uneven over time.
- The skin with a stain is more prone to bleeding when scratched or injured.
Port Wine Stains Causes:
Port-wine stains are caused by a problem with the capillaries, which are tiny blood vessels. Usually, the veins are narrow. But in large patches, they are excessively dilated, allowing blood to collect in them. This collection of blood is what gives port wine stains their distinctive color.
The condition occurs when there are unusual blood vessels in the skin and surface of the brain, which affects blood flow to the brain.
When port-wine stains appear on the arms or legs, but usually only one limb, it is caused by a rare genetic condition.
Treatment:
Port-wine stains do not usually require treatment, but some people choose to have them fade with treatments for cosmetic reasons. This is generally done using laser treatments. Laser and light treatment work by harnessing heat to damage abnormal blood vessels. This causes the blood vessel to close and disintegrate after a few weeks, helping to shrink, fade, or possibly remove door wine stains.
Most people will need several treatment sessions, although the exact number depends on several factors, including skin color, size, and location.
Keep in mind that laser treatment may not altogether remove a port-wine stain. But they may be able to lighten the color or make it less noticeable.
After laser treatment, your skin will be more sensitive, so be sure to wear sunscreen and protect the affected skin by following the procedure.
Post-treatment Care:
After removing port stains, your doctor will advise you to follow these post-operative care instructions properly:
- After handling port wine stains, avoid excessive, direct, and prolonged sun exposure for at least a month.
- You need to keep an ice pack at home to reduce the discomfort and swelling after handling port-wine stains.
- You need to properly apply sunscreen or sunscreen to treated areas when you need to go out in the sun.
- You should not touch, scratch, or rub the treated area after treating a port-wine stain.
- After treating port-wine stains, you can regularly use only the prescribed ointments as directed by your doctor.
You should refrain from using cosmetics on the treated area for the recommended period or as directed by your doctor.
