What Is Laser Vascular Treatment?
Although there are various types of vascular lesions, some of the most common are broken capillaries, spider veins, hemangiomas, and port wine birthmarks. Typically located on the face, broken capillaries and spider veins are small blood vessels that grow and become visible through the skin. Caused by factors like age, sun exposure, and genetics, they can be blue, red, or purple, making them difficult to hide. Different types of hemangiomas can present at all ages, typically as red to purple bumps in the skin, while port wine birthmarks typically present at or near birth and can grow, thicken, and bleed over time. As they become more visible, it is advisable to get help when you first notice them. If you want to decrease the appearance of vascular lesions on the body and face, Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania can help. Our team proudly offers laser vascular treatments for Devon, PA patients of all ages and skin tones. At your initial consultation, we will create a personalized plan to meet your goals.
What Should I Expect With Laser Vascular Treatment?
Non-surgical laser vascular treatment is performed in our Devon, PA office in around 5 – 15 minutes based on the number of areas being treated. During the procedure, you will lie comfortably in one of our treatment rooms as the affected area is cleaned. At your request in certain cases, a topical anesthetic can be applied before the procedure to minimize any potential discomfort. The laser is passed over the area so the wavelengths can target the blood vessels through a series of pulses without affecting the surrounding skin. The blood vessels absorb the laser energy, which helps to heat and close the wall of the vessels. You will be able to leave immediately to get back to your regular routine.

Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania Reviews
Being seen for laser treatment for my port wine stain. I travel about 1.5 hours from my residence because there aren’t doctors in my area that have the experience that Dr Wang has. Dr Wang is kind, patient, competent and experienced. I’m very pleased with the results.
I had a great experience with Dr. Wang as well as Nelly! They were both so helpful and informative about my options. I truly see a difference in my skin with the laser treatments, I went in talking about my rosy cheeks and skin texture and see a great difference in not being as red with overall smoother skin.
Patient oriented dermatologist-laser specialist - Dr. Wang listened to my concerned and thoroughly explained all the options including lasers to help treat my condition. He is a specialist in laser technologies and understands what can and cannot be achieved. Since he is a dermatologist, he helped me with my rash as well during the visit.
love this practice. i and my daughter both go to Dr. Wang . he is so kind and caring. everyone is so nice and professional. highly recommended. my daughter has a birthmark ( venus of otta) i believe it was called under her right eyes. after 6 treatment and it is gone. she’s very please and happy. i had a red vein coming out my right nostril n i had it for 47 years and finally with a zap of laser , it’s gone. ❤️❤️❤️
Updating my review from two years ago...Dr. Wang and his staff are still as fabulous as ever. After a consult about my skin and concerns, we decided to try the LaseMD Ulta & I could not be happier. My face was clear and glowing after & I will be making a follow up appointment for a 2nd treatment. Thank you Dr. Wang & his lovely assistant Hunter. The front desk staff is always so warm and welcoming as well. The office is beautiful, just a wonderful experience all around! Ladies...there's a new cosmetic derm in town. Dr. Wang is the real deal. I love a laser and he's got all the latest gadgets. And he's done all the research and trained with the best in NYC. The office is beautiful, sparkling clean and has parking. I got a fraxel and my face is GLOWING. Dr. Wang's assistant Nelly is just as wonderful as he is. Already planning my next visit to get my redness zapped. AND he does injectables. Run don't walk....

Laser Vascular Treatment FAQ
How effective is laser vascular treatment for treating different types of vascular lesions?
Laser vascular treatment is highly effective for various vascular lesions, including spider veins, hemangiomas, and port-wine stains. The effectiveness can vary depending on the size, depth, and type of lesion. Many patients see significant improvement after just a few sessions, although some may require additional treatments for optimal results.
What precautions should I take before undergoing laser vascular treatment?
Before undergoing laser vascular treatment, it's crucial to avoid sun exposure and tanning for several weeks, as tanned skin can increase the risk of complications. You should also avoid certain medications and supplements that can increase the risk of bleeding or bruising. Our team will provide a detailed list of pre-treatment instructions, including any necessary skin care routines. Following these guidelines closely will help ensure the best possible results and reduce the risk of side effects.
How soon can I resume normal activities after laser vascular treatment?
Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after laser vascular treatment, although it's advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and activities that cause excessive sweating for a few days. We may also recommend avoiding hot baths, saunas, and direct sun exposure to the treated area. Following these recommendations helps ensure proper healing and maximizes the effectiveness of the treatment.
