Abstract
This article will summarize the treatment options available for the two commonest vascular birthmarks of childhood: port wine stains and capillary haemangiomas. The treatment of port wine stains is primarily cosmetic and performed with lasers. The treatment of capillary haemangiomas is needed for both cosmetic and medical reasons and can include lasers, corticosteroids, interferons and surgery.
