If the condition of your lip is the same as shown in the video, then a dentist or surgeon with the proper laser should be able to remove it. Have them view this video and feel free to contact me regarding the procedure. The smaller the lesion when treated, the quicker it resolves.

By the way, Sarah, after due consideration to your post, I believe you are correct, and the proper term for a traumatic lesion such as this would be "hemangiocele", as opposed to "hemangioma", a term implying an actively growing lesion. My regards.

That was pretty interesting to watch

I'm not fluent in Russian dialect, but I believe I get the sentiment ;)

Believe it or not, there is little to no pain; the laser energy is absorbed by the blood in the lesion; unless the surrounding tissue is burned by the laser, my patients report no discomfort afterwards. I will say that these are small lesions; I have not yet treated anything larger than the size of a dime at this point. Yes, that is just inside the lip.

that must have been sore afterwards! was that the inside of the lip?

They are actually clotting under the heat of the laser. The trick is to select a laser setting that will coagulate the blood without burning the tissue; it's not that hard, in all honesty, and this particular laser makes it a very easy task.

Looks like thay are freesing it but it isnt that =)

In this patient, and older adult, the cause is almost certainly trauma- biting the lip, etc. They can also be congenital, presenting on other areas of the body and can be known as "Port Wine Stain" or Sturge-Weber Syndrome. The illustrated lesions were small, however they can be larger, covering large portions of the skin or mouth.
