I have a large port wine stain on my right cheek - any advice on treatment?

There are many options for this type of birth mark it will need laser treatments over time.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Traditionally pulse dye laser has been treatment of choice. However it is only partially effective and can not eradicate the port wine stain completely. There are other approaches besides laser and would limit the scope of treatment available.Consult an expert at the medical school in your state with the largest port wine stain experience.

The pulsed dye laser has been used successfully to treat facial port wine stains for many years.  There are other lasers available as well, but the pulsed dye laser has a proven track record and likely has the best safety profile.  Examples of pulsed dye laser include the Cynergy and V-Beam.
