Hemangioma recovery typically takes about 1 to 3 months after laser treatment. Laser removal of hemangiomas primarily works through the thermal effect generated by laser irradiation, which damages the hemangioma tissue to achieve therapeutic results. If the hemangioma is small, recovery may take around one month. However, if the hemangioma covers a larger area, multiple treatments may be required to achieve the desired outcome, thus extending the recovery period to approximately three months.
