With the advanced pulsed dye laser technology, we offer safe and effective solutions for a wide range of skin concerns. This includes the treatment of port wine stains, hemangiomas, scars, periorbital wrinkles, stretch marks, warts, pimples, and rosacea. It is also effective in addressing vascular issues such as facial veins, leg veins, angiomas, poikiloderma of Civatte, venous lakes, as well as chronic conditions like psoriasis. This versatile treatment makes it possible to achieve healthier, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin with precision and safety.
The pulsed dye laser (PDL) is a specialized device designed to target and treat benign vascular lesions with precision and safety. It works by delivering concentrated bursts of light at a specific wavelength that is absorbed by blood vessels without damaging the surrounding skin. This makes it highly effective for treating a wide range of vascular and pigmented skin concerns. Widely regarded as the gold standard in its category, the PDL offers patients safe, reliable, and noticeable results in improving both skin health and appearance.
This laser delivers a gentle yet powerful burst of yellow light to the skin. The light is absorbed by targeted blood vessels in the dermis, causing them to coagulate. Over time, the body naturally reabsorbs these treated vessels during the healing process, resulting in clearer skin. The treatment is designed to be highly selective, which means it only targets the problem vessels while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. This precision not only ensures effective results but also minimizes downtime and discomfort for the patient.
Yes. Pulsed dye laser treatment is highly safe and has even been used effectively in infants and young children for conditions like port wine stains.
The skin’s surface is safeguarded during treatment through Candela’s Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD™), which sprays a cooling mist onto the skin before each laser pulse for added comfort.
Temporary side effects may include mild redness, swelling, or purpura (laser bruise), usually resolving in a few days. Permanent side effects, such as scarring, are extremely rare.
Most patients report only mild discomfort, often described as a rubber band snapping against the skin. Thanks to the Dynamic Cooling Device, discomfort is greatly reduced. In some cases, a topical anesthetic may also be applied for added ease. It is best to discuss this option with your physician.
During a session, you can expect the following steps:
Wearing protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light
The physician applies a small handpiece to deliver the laser energy to the targeted area
A brief spray of cooling mist is released before each pulse for comfort
Avoid direct sun exposure before and throughout your treatment course.
Always use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher).
Post-treatment care may vary depending on the type of lesion treated—your physician will provide detailed guidance.
Currently, the only PDL system in South India is available at Dr. Thaj Laser Skin-Hair Clinic (LSHC), Thalassery.
Treatment duration depends on the lesion’s size and location. Sessions typically last from a few minutes to 30 minutes.
Some lesions may clear after a single treatment.
Others may require multiple sessions, spaced 6–8 weeks apart.
The pulsed dye laser is considered the gold standard for treating vascular lesions, with over 15 years of proven clinical use and more than 300 published research papers supporting its effectiveness.
Yes. The Candela Pulsed Dye Laser at LSHC is FDA (USA) approved for treating all the listed conditions, ensuring both safety and efficacy.
