Port Wine Stains and other Congenital Birth Marks

Portwine Stains and other Congenital Birth Marks

Birth marks come in all shapes and sizes, and may consist of blood vessels, pigmentation, and other abnormal collections of tissue.

Use of selective laser techniques for their removal is critical, and early treatment is often the best policy for some birthmarks like portwine stains for maximal improvement without significant scarring or textural change.

Dr Zachary has treated port wine stains for over 25 years, and has been an early adopter of new technology in this regard.  He was one of the first laser surgeons to use the longer pulse Nd:YAG laser for life threatening venous malformations in the oral cavity and elsewhere. He lectures on these topics world wide. He has an national and international patient base from both Europe and Minnesota/San Francisco, and has the best equipped facilities in the region.
