I have a hemangioma and I am interested in
ways of treating it. I have heard that
there is a laser ipl which is used to
make the redness disappear and I am going
to check it out later this month. I want
to know if there is anyone who has had
another treatment or has heard of anything
better than ipl, as I am tired of
experiencing new lasers which are not
completely effective. Thanks.

Ipl Treatment Posted: 08-22-07 06:23am
Hi KellyR,
Heamangiomas can be difficult to treat
depending on their colour and depth. Older
heamangiomas tend to be darker in colour
because the vessels are larger in
diameter. This makes them tricky to remove
by light-based techniques since the amount
of total energy required is quite large.
Also, the darker colour can be more
difficult to target specifically!
However, there are some IPL systems which
can help to reduce the 'visiblity' of the
stain. If you are lucky you might be left
with a much lighter stain which is easier
to hide with make-up.
If you are not so lucky your stain will
still be very visible!
I suggest you try one of the 'better' IPL
systems for a number of sessions. If you
do not see a significant difference after
4 or 5 sessions, stop the procedure. You
will probably not achieve a better
result.
The 'better' devices must have higher
energy outputs and longer pulse durations.
You need both of these factors to ensure a
thermal reaction in your vessels.
