Venous lakes of the vermillion lip treated by infrared coagulation.

We reviewed the treatment of 20 venous lakes by infrared coagulation in 18 patients. Seventeen cleared after one treatment; in three patients a further treatment was required, and one patient needed a total of three sessions to clear the venous lake. At 1-6 months follow-up there was complete clearance with no discernible mark in all but four patients who had minimal scarring, including the patient who had three treatments.
