Dr. Sanda Moldovan uses a diode laser to treat a 3-millimeter hemangioma on the lip. The lesion is a blood pool that often forms after trauma. The laser coagulates it so the body resorbs it, and the procedure can be repeated if needed.
About 3 millimeters.
A diode laser.
Topical numbing gel.
Ozonated oil.
Continuous flow (continuous mode).
Today we are doing a procedure to treat this lip hemangioma. A lip hemangioma usually shows as a result of trauma to the lip. So the lip was pinched. Then we can develop a little, small blood pool right here, almost like a small, little blood clot underneath the skin. In order to get rid of this, we will be using a laser to coagulate the blood underneath, and then the body will resorb that slowly with time. We already put some topical numbing gel. This is usually all that's necessary for this procedure, and we're gonna get started. Okay. So essentially, we have a diode laser that will help to accomplish and shrinking this hemangioma. So I will be using it on a continuous flow to create heat in this area. You. Okay. So typically, we see it turning a little bit wider once in a while. We could put a cool compress here, like, with a little moisture. Sorry. It's already smaller in size because it was shrunken. Let's see. I just want to make sure you're awake. Sorry. You can handle a little bit more. Okay. Although this is really not wet. If you can wet it, please. Good. Okay. Sometimes we need to repeat this procedure. We're gonna put a little bit of ozonated oil on this side, and right now we can see it's whiter in color, and it's about, let's say, three millimeters in diameter. Okay, great. Put a little ozonated oil. Awesome.
