Venous lake on your lip?
Venous lake is a venous malformation, often in the lower lip, that we believe results from trauma and some genetic factor. The venous lake laser treatment for your blue lip lesion is a common procedure in our office.
Do you have a blue bump on your lip? Has it grown slightly over the years? Does it look something like the photo below? There is a very good chance you have a venous lake and we provide the venous lake treatment you are looking for. While these may be called a number of other things, venous lake is the most accurate diagnosis. Similar lesions that exist are varix, hemangioma, phlebectases and images can be found on google.
How do we treat a venous lake?
Our office currently uses both hard and soft tissue lasers for an array of health related issues. We use our lasers for exposing unerupted teeth when doing orthodontics, for removal of chronically inflamed and overgrown gingival tissue, and for removal of hematomas (venous lake). Our hard tissue laser is utilized to place dental fillings without needing to get numb or use a dental drill. Our soft and hard tissue lasers are occasionally used when making a dental crown or when when dealing with dental implants.
The most sought after treatment in our practice when it comes to laser treatments is the removal of a venous lake, which looks like a blue spot on your lip. Utilizing the laser to remove a venous lake is quite simple. This procedure is nearly pain free and only takes about 10 minutes. To see more before and after venous lake photos click here.
