My port wine stain birthmark is awful. It's on my right bum cheek and thigh. How much would it cost to get rid of?

Question

My birthmark is on my right cheek on my butt and my thigh and I've always been self conscience and sometimes it burns in salt water or in high chlorinated pools and I have always wanted to get it removed. I'm 18 years old and would do just about anything to get rid of it

Vbeam laser is an excellent modality for patients who have rosacea, blushing of the skin, facial and body telangiectasia, spider veins, redness, post surgical redness, and skin flushing. It is a safe procedure that can be used at varying depths to help treat micro blood vessels in the skin. We also use it in our office for facial skin inflammation, keloids, and hypertrophic scarring. It is an important part of scar therapy. Vbeam can be combined with chemical peels and other lasers, but experience with the treatment is essential. The Vbeam laser does not affect deeper tissue. Schedule a consultation with an expert in Vbeam and you will find it to be an excellent modality for many skin types.

You can get this faded, if not removed with lasers. You will need at least 6 or more sessions depending on the size and thickness. Port wine stains do best with vascular lasers such as V BEAM This video link shows how, and what to expect. All the bestDr Davin Lim Laser dermatologistBrisbane, Australia.
