Many skin blemishes respond well to laser
treatment, from large purple "Port Wine Stains" to
small clusters of red thread veins just below the
skin. A laser is directed at the affected area,
and the beam is made up of yellow light, which is
not absorbed by the healthy skin, but only by the
darker blood vessels causing the blemish. These
break down, and are dealt with by the body's own
defence mechanisms, through a series of natural
processes.
Laser surgery is particularly
effective in the removal of blemishes in children
and babies, whose skin is especially responsive to
the treatment.
