  • The discomfort from the procedure is significantly decreased with the inhaled anaesthetic agent. Corneal shields are in place to completely occlude the eyes, so there should be no glowing spots.

  • Be strong! I'm 21 years old and i also have a wine port side on my face..it's true that the laser treatment hurts, but you have to be strong, like I was all these years. :) Dont hate your face please, you will just be bad to yourself and thats not good...

  • question why do they take so many treatments? also how come sclerotherapy doesnt work ? you know the thing they inject on varicose veins

  • @GEMMI541 it's totally worth it! you can put on a ointment to numb your stain area, I did, and it wasn't too bad! I'm 18 and don't have to get laser anymore :) no one notices it anymore

  • I have a small portwine stain by my ear and i'm 12 but i'm too scared to have laser treatment cuz of the pain ://

  • I've had 9 PDL treatments from 1998-2001 which I think faded my facial port wine stain some, but it started getting darker when about 6/7 years later when I was 27. I had 3 Gemini treatments last year which were GREAT, and just had another PDL treatment to try to remove underlying darkness (the Gemini removed all the discolouration near the surface).

    Gemini is sweet - hardly hurts and no bruising. PDL is a fucking bitch with pain, swelling and bruising and scabs for well over a week after.

  • I got the same and getting it done to.
