Best Treatments For Hemangioma

Hemangiomas are benign vascular growths often appearing as red, blue, or purple lesions on the skin or under the surface. They’re most common in infants but can persist or develop in adults. While typically harmless, hemangiomas may become raised, enlarged, or cosmetically concerning depending on their location and progression.

We use precise laser treatments and non-invasive therapies to reduce hemangioma size, color, and visibility. These approaches improve skin appearance while minimizing risk to surrounding tissue—especially effective for cosmetic areas or persistent growths.

What to Expect from Treatment for Hemangioma at Kovak Cosmetic Center

Immediately After Treatment

The lesion may appear darker or more raised immediately after treatment, which is a normal part of the healing response. Some mild swelling or redness is also expected.

✓ Initial targeting of vascular tissue
✓ Minimal discomfort during treatment
✓ Quick return to daily activities

1 to 3 Weeks

The hemangioma begins to lighten in color and shrink in size as treated blood vessels collapse. Any swelling or sensitivity continues to fade.

✓ Reduced discoloration and prominence
✓ Smoother surface texture
✓ Less irritation or friction from clothing

1 to 3 Months

Visible changes become more significant, with fading of the lesion and further flattening of the area. Multiple sessions may be needed depending on the size and depth.

✓ Noticeably smaller and lighter lesion
✓ Restored skin uniformity
✓ Enhanced cosmetic appearance

3 to 6 Months

Continued improvement is observed with follow-up treatments. In some cases, maintenance may be recommended to prevent regrowth or manage residual visibility.

✓ Sustained clearance and skin tone balance
✓ Reduced need for concealment or coverage
✓ Confidence in personal and professional settings
