| Many skin conditions are the result of abnormal blood vessels. These include conditions such as angiomas, hemangiomas, spider veins on the face and legs, inflammatory acne, psoriasis, warts and birthmarks. Many conditions are caused by controllable factors such as sun-exposure, but other conditions are present at birth. All of these conditions can be treated with a vascular laser. |

Venual malformations, port-wine birthmarks, are present at birth and can range from pale pink to dark purple in color. In the past, these lesions were erroneously called "capillary hemangiomas." Port-wine birthmarks occur in 0.3% of births and occur equally among males and females. The cause is associated with a deficiency or absence in the nerve supply to the blood vessels of the affected area. These nerves control the diameter of the blood vessels. If the nerves are absent or defective, the vessels will continue to dilate and blood will pool or collect in the affected area. The result will be a visible birth mark.
At Laser Vein Center of Fairbanks and Anchorage, we utilize the latest in surface laser treatment called Cynosure Surface Laser.
