Study Details

The goal of this study is to learn about treatment of port wine birthmarks treated with an FDA-approved 532 nm laser. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How well are the treatments tolerated? * Are there differences in tolerability of the treatment when a single high fluence laser pulse is used (the standard treatment) versus using multiple low fluence pulses? * Are there differences in results when using a single high fluence pulse versus multiple low fluence pulses? type of study: Clinical Trial Participants will undergo 3 monthly laser treatments with the 532 nm DermaV laser. Part of their birthmark will be treated with the standard single-pulse high fluence approach, and other parts will be treated with the multiple-pulse low fluence approach.

Arms

  • Experimental: Port wine stain
    The port wine stain will be treated with the DermaV laser. Within the single port wine stain, one area will be treated with standard settings (single pulse high fluence). Four other areas will be treated with multi-pulse low fluence settings. A sixth area will be an untreated control.
