You might start by looking at the Vascular Birthmark Foundation website, www.birthmark.org. They can help you find a doctor who is experienced with PWS.
There are many different types of lasers that can be used to lighten PWS, and the best laser to use for a particular case depends on things such as the depth and diameter of the blood vessels. Make sure you go to a doctor who is familiar with PWS. If they don't know which laser to use for your case, you could have many treatments with little progress.

Any board-certified dermatologist certified in laser therapy should be able to remove the birthmark.
