Port wine stains / Birthmarks

birthmark.png

A port wine stain is an enduring birthmark characterized by a smooth, flat, pink, red, or purple patch on a newborn's skin, which may intensify in color and develop a raised or bumpy texture as time passes. Typically manifesting on the face, it can also affect other body areas. The name "port wine stain" is derived from its resemblance to dark red wine spilled or splashed on the skin. Additionally, it is referred to as nevus flammeus.

At VIZAGE, we possess a diverse array of medical-grade devices that empower us to provide safe and impactful treatments, supported by clinical evidence, for the removal of birthmarks.

What is VIZAGE's technology of choice for birthmarks treatments?

The EXCELIGHT®

  • What should I expect after the treatment?
    - A mild sunburn sensation will be experienced for a few hours post-treatment, with redness lasting 1 to 2 days—a normal indication of deep-level skin healing. - Swelling is anticipated but minimal, typically resolving within 2 to 3 days. - During the healing process, the skin may present a 'bronzed' appearance lasting from 3 to 10 days, contingent on the treatment level. - Natural exfoliation will occur, and the skin may flake, akin to mild sunburn.
  • Is a pre-treatment consultation required?
    Yes! At VIZAGE, we always request a pre-treatment consultation to ensure suitability, create a tailored personalised treatment plan and address any questions or concerns you may have. Book your free laser skin consultation today through our booking portal.
  • Are there any side effects?
    Expect skin redness, swelling, and the described bronzing appearance as typical outcomes of the treatment. While these effects are common, other undesirable consequences are infrequent and might involve a small blister or temporary changes to skin pigmentation, such as a brief darkening of the skin.
  • How many treatments are required?
    Typically 3 to 6 treatments, but this depends on your current situation, desired outcome and treatment plan.
  • How does IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treats Facial Veins or Rosacea?
    Individuals with Rosacea often exhibit facial thread veins that dilate in response to specific stimuli (e.g., hot baths or spicy food) and remain open for longer durations compared to those without Rosacea. These thread veins have weaker walls, leading to impaired functionality. Intense Pulsed Light treatment has proven to be highly effective in addressing Rosacea. It operates through a process known as photothermolysis, where this light therapy selectively eliminates the abnormal vessels (thread veins) responsible for the Rosacea effect, allowing for the formation of thicker-walled micro vessels.
  • Is IPL the only treatment for Rosacea or Facial Veins?
    The presentation of Rosacea can differ significantly among patients, requiring personalized treatments. Consultation with your doctor or GP will provide guidance on various oral and topical medications. Typically, a regimen of antibiotics followed by continuous topical treatment is suggested. Your doctor can discuss the potential benefits and side effects of prescribed medications. For those seeking a drug-free alternative, Intense Pulsed Light has proven to be highly effective in eliminating thread veins responsible for the Rosacea effect. There is no one magic solution for all, so a -consultation is required before commencing any treatments to ensure having the best course of action suitable for your needs.
  • What to expect during a Rosacea or Facial Veins treatment?
    To initiate the treatment, we will remove any makeup or skincare, and a cold gel will be applied to the designated area. The handpiece is gently placed on your skin, and pulses of light are applied in gradual movements on the skin's surface. Protective eyewear will be provided for your safety.
  • Who is a suitable candidate for cheek filler?
    Individuals with flattened or sagging cheeks seeking volume restoration and improved facial contours are often suitable candidates.
  • How does cheek filler work?
    It adds volume to the cheeks, addressing sagging or hollow areas and creating a more youthful and sculpted appearance.
  • How do I prepare for cheek filler?
    Before filler injections, follow these general guidelines: Consultation: Discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns with your injector during a consultation. Avoid Blood Thinners:** temporarily refrain from ibuprofen or supplements such as fish oils and Vitamin E to reduce the risk of bruising. Hydration: Ensure good hydration before the procedure, as this can aid in recovery. Inform Your Practitioner: Disclose any allergies, medications, or health conditions to your practitioner for a safe and tailored treatment plan. Plan Downtime: While most filler procedures have minimal downtime, plan for a few days without important events to allow for any potential swelling or bruising to subside. Arnica: You can take arnica supplements for 5 days before your appointment to help reduce the chances of bruising
  • Are there potential side effects?
    Temporary swelling or bruising may occur, but severe side effects are rare.
  • How much product would I need?
    This depends on the severity of case, and the desired result so it is best to book a consultation to assess and make a plan.
  • What issues does cheek filler address?
    Cheek filler is effective for restoring lost volume, improving cheekbone definition, and providing an overall lifted and rejuvenated look.
  • What is cheek filler?
    Cheek filler involves injecting dermal filler to enhance volume and contour in the cheek area.
  • How long do results last?
    Results vary but generally last around 12 to 18 months. Follow-up treatments may be needed for maintenance.
  • What is the recovery time?
    Recovery is usually quick, with minimal downtime. Any swelling or bruising typically resolves within a few days.
  • Can I dissolve my filler if I'm unhappy with the results?
    Yes, hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. It's a safe and effective way to reverse the effects if needed.
  • Is the procedure painful?
    Discomfort is typically minimal.
  • Can cheek filler be combined with other treatments?
    Yes, it can be combined with other procedures like Botox or additional areas of facial fillers for a more comprehensive facial enhancement.
  • How many sessions are required for optimum results?
    The total number of treatments required will vary depending upon the type of birthmark. Some will need from six to twelve sessions and it is important to realise that some birthmarks can re-occur.
  • How does the treatment feel like? is it painful?
    The treatment causes slight discomfort, and a warm, tingling sensation, similar to sunburn, may be felt afterward. The treated area might become itchy, but it is crucial to refrain from scratching.
  • Is the treatment suitable for all birthmarks?
    Laser treatment is generally applicable to most varieties of birthmarks. However, we strongly advise scheduling a consultation and assessment at the clinic to explore and discuss suitable treatment options for your specific case.
  • How does the birthmark treatment work?
    The procedure entails utilising a particular light wavelength tailored to the specific colour and composition of the birthmark. Through a series of treatments, the laser works to break down the pigmentation, causing the mark to gradually fade and harmonise with the surrounding skin, leaving no visible scars.
  • What should I expect post-treatment?
    After treatment, the treated area may exhibit a temporary pinkness, but this will rapidly diminish. Normal activities can be resumed immediately. In the case of body treatments, due to the metabolism of some triglycerides passing into the urinary system, it is normal to experience an increased need to urinate. In fact, it is advised for both facial and body treatments that patients consume higher amounts of water for a brief period following the procedures to facilitate and optimize the removal of fat cells. The immediate post-treatment contraction of collagen fibers enhances skin elasticity, resulting in firmer-looking skin.
  • What are the side effects?
    Typically, side effects are mild and may encompass itching, numbness, slight heat, tenderness, redness, and swelling. Less frequently, there may be mild bruising or blisters at the treatment site, but these issues generally resolve quickly. However, such occurrences are not common.
  • I have a medical condition, can I can still undergo the HIFU Tightening and Lifting treatment?

    Among the most prevalent wrinkles, the lines on the forehead are often the initial ones we observe.

    Short pulses of light are emitted, easily absorbed by the elevated melanin concentration in pigmented lesions. The swift absorption of light energy heats the melanin, leading to the destruction of cells rich in melanin.
  • How is the treatment done?
    The light applicator is positioned on the skin, and a brief light pulse is emitted. The applicator is then shifted to the adjacent area, and this process is reiterated until the entire area is treated. At VIZAGE, we utilise different technologies to make sure it is most suitable for your skin type, please book a consultation to discuss best course of action.
  • Who is suitable for the treatment?
    Treatment is generally appropriate for most individuals, with the exception of those with recent tans. Also, extensive, dark, mottled, or elevated pigmentation may not be suitable for treatment and should be assessed by a dermatologist. Avoid treating large, dark moles or lesions covering a significant portion of the body. The most responsive pigmented marks are typically superficial lesions like those resulting from sun damage (sun spots) and freckles.
  • What are the common side effects?
    The skin surrounding the pigmented lesion may turn red right after the treatment. The majority of individuals encounter no additional side effects, and the redness typically fades within a few hours to a few days. In very rare instances, a small blister may develop, or the skin might undergo temporary lightening or darkening.
  • Is a pre-treatment consultation required?
    Yes! Before undergoing treatment, you must first participate in a consultation, during which information about your medical history is gathered to confirm suitability. Book your consultation online.
  • What are the post-treatment expectations?
    In the initial days following the treatment, the treated area might exhibit warmth and sensitivity. The lesions may undergo darkening and become more noticeable before eventually fading and peeling away. Occasionally, there might be an initial whitening of the area, which swiftly diminishes, and the pigmentation gradually lessens over the subsequent weeks.
  • Does acne only affects the face?
    No! it frequently affects the chest and back as well - treatments are available for all ares.
  • How will I feel during the treatment?
    The treatment is mildly uncomfortable, and anesthesia is unnecessary at most times. Many individuals liken the sensation to the snap of an elastic band. To enhance comfort, a skin cooling device can be employed during the procedure.
  • How does IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) work?
    The light emitted by the Intense Pulsed Light system specifically targets overactive sebaceous glands, significantly decreasing the overall number and severity of active lesions, and reducing inflammation and the frequency of breakouts. Additionally, the light encourages the production of new collagen, enhancing skin texture, and has the potential to diminish the appearance of red or brown areas often linked with acne breakouts.
  • How can help improving my acne at home?
    We often recommend products to be consistently used for effective results, as we've observed significant improvements with product use alone. However, lifestyle factors also play a role. While we understand why teenagers may experience acne due to hormonal changes, comprehending it as adults can be more challenging. Genetics can have a substantial impact, and factors like stress, diet, sleep, contraception, pregnancies, menopause, and exercise must be taken into account. Stress influences hormone production, diet, particularly excessive sugar and hormonal levels in dairy, may contribute, quality sleep aids skin repair, and while exercise is generally beneficial, excessive or intense training can alter hormones. Considering lifestyle changes not only enhances results but also reduces the long-term likelihood of experiencing acne again.

  • How will my skin feel after the treatment?
    Right after the treatment, the skin may exhibit redness, accompanied by a warm tingling sensation. Typically, the skin is cooled to alleviate any discomfort, and a soothing gel is applied.
  • How is the treatment conducted?
    A layer of cool gel is administered to the skin to facilitate light guidance. The light guide is then applied to the skin, releasing a brief pulse of light. The applicator (EXCELIGHT) is moved across the skin multiple times before transitioning to the adjacent area, and this cycle is reiterated until the entire area is treated. Each light pulse covers a substantial skin area, resulting in a brief treatment duration. Afterward, the gel is removed, and the skin is moisturised. Protective eye wear will be supplied during the treatment.
  • How does the treatment work?
    This non-surgical facelift targets the SMAS layer deep beneath the skin, the same area that surgeons address in face and neck lifts. Instead of surgical procedures, Focus Dual utilizes ultrasound technology to deliver energy to the SMAS layer, achieving skin tightening, lifting, and plumping without the need for surgery.
  • What is the downtime for a HIFU Facial procedure?
    Given the non-invasive character of HIFU treatments, downtime is practically non-existent. After the treatment, you might notice a slight redness, and a small portion of our clients may encounter minor swelling, tingling, or tenderness. These symptoms are mild and temporary. You can resume your regular activities immediately, and no specific recovery measures are necessary. This is why HIFU is often referred to as the "lunchtime facelift."

    During the treatment, you may feel a mild heating sensation or slight tingling. Patients generally describe this sensation as moderate and acceptable and pain-free.
  • When will I start seeing results? and how long do they last?
    Typically, you can observe immediate results, and these improvements continue to enhance up to 12 weeks after the treatment, thanks to the ongoing renewal of your collagen. We anticipate that the results will endure for 1-2 years, though this can vary depending on lifestyle and the extent of maintenance.
  • Who is eligible for this treatment?
    This treatment is available for anyone who wants to partially or fully remove a tattoo on any part of the body.
  • Is the treatment uncomfortable or painful?
    The treatment is comfortable as it is well-tolerated by the vast majority of patients. It generally feels like a series of mild blows from a rubber band on the skin surface.
  • What are the effects I should expect post treatment?
    Over a few weeks, a progression of changes becomes noticeable. Initially, the ink fades, and certain areas of the skin lighten slightly. These alterations are gradual, with the pigment diminishing further after each treatment. The skin gradually reverts to its natural colour within a few months. The ultimate results become visible a few months after the final laser session.
  • How should I prepare before the treatment?
    A few steps are needed before the treatment begins: - Avoid sun exposure as well as tanning beds/lamps for at least 1 month prior to the treatment. - The skin must be clean and cosmetics free. - Medication that could alter light sensitivity must be avoided. Make sure to book your free laser skin consultation to discuss your treatment at VIZAGE.

    4 to 8 sessions are expected with most patients, spaced 2 or more months apart. The number of treatments will vary based on your specific case with factors such as ink colour, the age of the tattoo, phototype and the tattoo's location on the body.
  • What Causes Melasma?
    The precise cause of melasma remains unknown, although it is believed to result from melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells in the skin, producing excessive melanin. While the exact trigger for this reaction is undetermined, instances of melasma often coincide with pregnancy or the use of hormonal medications like birth control or hormone replacement therapy. In rare cases, certain medications may also induce melasma. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV) from sunlight or tanning beds can exacerbate the condition and darken existing melasma. While avoiding sun exposure can mitigate this effect, it is not always possible, especially in cases related to pregnancy or hormonal medications. Fortunately, laser treatment for melasma is both effective and painless.
  • What does melasma look like?
    Melasma differs slightly in appearance from sun damage, typically manifesting as blotchy hyperpigmented patches on the face—commonly on the forehead, cheeks, nose, upper lip, and chin. Occasionally, melasma may also affect other sun-exposed areas like the shoulders. It tends to emerge during pregnancy or following hormonal treatments such as contraceptive pill usage. Like all forms of pigmentation, melasma tends to worsen with exposure to sunlight.
  • Can filler be combined with other treatments for better results?
    Yes, combining filler with other treatments like Botox or skin resurfacing or tightening procedures may provide more comprehensive rejuvenation.

“I'd been toying with the idea of lip filler for AGES but had always managed to talk myself out of it - I was worried it wouldn't look natural on me! However, Dr Jasmin is AMAZING! I only had my lips done yesterday but the swelling has already reduced and I love the shape. They look really natural and I can't stop staring at them! Dr Jasmin is also a really lovely person - she took the time to listen to what I wanted and also gave me good advice on things other than my procedure. She is a qualified dentist too, so I knew that she was the best of the best and knew her way around a face! Thank you so so much - I can't wait to visit you again. You're truly the best at what you do and lovely too! Elisha x
