Laser treatment for birthmarks that are at least 2.5 cm across
Part of Genetic & congenital, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a laser treatment for vascular birthmarks (like port-wine stains). It might help if your birthmark is on an area of your body that is not the center of your face and you have light to medium skin.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests how well laser therapy works for children with port-wine stains (red or purple birthmarks). It aims to find the best way to use lasers to lighten or remove these marks safely.
This Phase 2 study tests whether using a lower light dose during a treatment called Hemoporfin PDT can safely shrink port-wine birthmarks (PWB). It aims to find a dose that works well while causing fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether using two different lasers one after the other works better than a single laser for treating port-wine stains (a type of birthmark). The goal is to see if the combination treatment can improve appearance with fewer sessions.
This study tests how tolerable (comfortable and safe) a specific 532-nanometer laser treatment is for people with non-facial port wine stains. If you join, you’ll get laser sessions and have skin photos taken, while avoiding other treatments on the same area.
This trial tests a laser called Vbeam Pro Pulse Dye Laser to see how well it treats skin conditions like broken blood vessels, redness, or other skin marks. It may help if you have a vascular or skin lesion that a doctor thinks can be treated with laser.
This trial tests a rapamycin cream to see if it helps make port-wine stain treatment work better. It is for children 10 or younger who are already planning to have laser therapy.
