Venous Lake on the Lip

Venous lake on the lip. A venous lake of the size of half a large cranberry on the upper lip. This was treated by contact cryotherapy. With the correct technique, the venous dilatation will disappear, leaving a minor soft scar that is not taut, but the treated area may remain slightly lighter than its environment. The operation requires experience and expertise in cryotherapy of the skin.
