A Randomized Trial to Study Combined Pulsed Dye Laser and Rapamycin Treatment of Port Wine Stain Birthmarks.

The researchers want to collect data on safety and efficacy of combined pulsed dye laser and rapamycin to improve fading/blanching of port wine stain birthmarks as compared to pulsed dye laser alone, which is the current standard of care. This single center pilot and feasibility study will have a target enrollment of 40 port wine stain subjects at the Beckman Laser Institute and Medical Clinic, University of California, Irvine.
