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

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.

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.
