Port Wine Stain Laser Treatment
in Tulsa
Why Choose This Treatment?
Medical Provider–Performed Treatments
Every treatment at 86INK is performed by a licensed Nurse Practitioner — not a technician. This ensures clinical precision, appropriate laser parameters, and safe outcomes for every patient.
Advanced Candela Laser Technology
We use Candela's industry-leading vascular laser platforms to selectively target hemoglobin in blood vessels without damaging surrounding skin, progressively lightening the birthmark over multiple sessions.
Customized Treatment Plans
No two port wine stains are alike. We develop individualized protocols based on birthmark depth, color, vessel size, skin type, and your aesthetic goals — adjusting at each session as your skin responds.
Minimal Downtime
Treatment takes 15–45 minutes. Mild warmth or a snapping sensation is normal. Temporary redness or swelling may occur for 24–72 hours, then resolves. Results improve gradually with each session.

Common Questions
Why Port Wine Stains Change Over Time
Port wine stains are progressive vascular conditions. As the vessels remain dilated, they can become more pronounced over the years — making early and consistent treatment important for long-term outcomes.
- Darkening in color
The pink or red hue deepens as vessels enlarge and blood pools more visibly beneath the skin.
- Increased visibility
Contrast with surrounding skin becomes more noticeable, particularly in areas exposed to sun or heat.
- Thickening or textural changes
Over decades, untreated PWS can develop nodular or cobblestone texture as vessel walls thicken.
How Laser Treatment Works
At 86INK, advanced vascular laser technology is used to selectively target hemoglobin within visible blood vessels. Treatment is precise, controlled, and designed to preserve surrounding skin while improving vascular tone.
- Breaks down dilated capillaries
Laser energy is absorbed by hemoglobin, causing thermal coagulation that collapses the targeted vessel.
- Reduces visible redness
As treated vessels are reabsorbed by the body, the characteristic red or wine-colored tone fades progressively.
- Promotes gradual lightening
Each session builds on the last — most patients see cumulative improvement across a series of spaced treatments.

Results & Treatment Plan

- Reduction in redness
- Improved skin uniformity
- Softer, more balanced tone
