Just got first of 4 treatments today to remove my facial port wine stain that covers half of my forehead nose and cheek. I am horrified with how i look after this first treatment. The docter said it would look bad before it would look good.. but i wasn’t expecting this.

Has anyone ever had a pws and had it treated? I have small round purple brusies all over my forehead and cheek; from the laser. My face is swollen and hurts a little. Its more embarrasing and apparent then my port wine stain ever was. I know it will eventually get better with the more treatments i have. but how long will i have to look like this? I have treatments every month, i know after each treatment i will look like this again… but will the bruising go away in between treatments so i dont look like a freak every day for the next 4 months??

Also if anyone has had a facial port wine stain removed, how did the end result turn out???
i better not be doing this for nothing.

any info would help. thanks
