Check this out!  This is the Drug (it's a chemotherapy agent) that is on the horizon for application following laser treatments.  Although it is mainly targeted at skin cancers and genital warts, it has shown promise in keeping the small blood vessels of the PWS from regenerating and returning the birthmark to it's prior state.   In FACT...Dr. Geronemus and Dr. Nelson are already using it!!!

Was this discussed at the conference Megan? I will have to ask Dr. G about it when we go to Ty's next treatment. Oh, how I hope and pray this is the answer
