How much will a red birthmark removal cost and how will it be removed? (Photo)

Vascular birthmarks can be improved or removed with pulsed dye laser. Our office specializes in surgical and laser mole removal. Best, DR. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

You need a combination of laser treatments for removal.  It will require multiple treatments but needs to be evaluated in person to determine costs and length of time for treatment.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi Janie.  The treatment for red birthmark removal (port wine stain) is a pulsed dye laser.  V-Beam and V-star are common lasers for this type of treatment.  We use both and get excellent results for the type of birthmark you have.The price of the removal depends on who you go to and how many treatments you need.  An average for port wine stain removal is in the $300 range per treatment at our practice and the number of treatments varies greatly based on how deep the vascularity is, anywhere between 2 to 15.  To see examples of before and after pictures for Los Angeles Port wine birthmark removal, click on the link below.

Thanks for the photos, and the description. The diagnosis is one of a PWS and you will require multiple treatments. I prefer the pulse dye laser at 595 nm. You will require between 4-10 treatments, note that 10% of PWS are resistant to treatment. See a qualified laser dermatologist for steps forward. In regards to costs, laser in Australia is partially coved by Medicare, and you will reach your threshold after 3 treatments. In Australia, Medicare provides 6 subsidised treatments per year.Once your threshold is reached, treatments are as cheap as $110 USD. Good excuse to move to Oz :)All the best, Dr Davin Lim Laser Dermatologist Australia, BRISBANE
