What is Birthmark removal?

Birthmark removal is a non-invasive procedure designed to safely eliminate unwanted birthmarks, whether they are pigmented, vascular, or any other type. Utilizing advanced laser technology, this treatment targets the birthmark tissue to break it down, allowing the body to naturally clear it over time.

How Does Birthmark Removal Work?

Laser birthmark removal works by emitting concentrated laser pulses that specifically target the pigment or blood vessels in the birthmark. The laser energy is absorbed by the birthmark, causing it to break apart into smaller particles. These particles are gradually cleared by the body’s immune system. Depending on the type and size of the birthmark, multiple sessions may be required for optimal results.

How Should You Prepare for Birthmark Removal?

For the best results, follow these pre-treatment guidelines:

• Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks before the procedure.
• Discontinue the use of retinoids and strong exfoliants 5-7 days prior to treatment.
• Keep your skin hydrated and moisturized.
• Do not shave or wax the treatment area before your session.

What Happens During a Birthmark Removal Session?

The procedure typically lasts between 15-30 minutes, depending on the size and location of the birthmark. During the session:

• A cooling gel or topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort.
• You may feel a mild sensation, similar to the snapping of a rubber band against the skin.
• There may be some mild redness or swelling immediately after the treatment, which generally subsides within a few hours.

What is the Post-Treatment Care for Birthmark Removal?

Post-treatment care includes:

• Apply a gentle moisturizer or aloe vera gel to soothe the skin.
• Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+) every day to protect the treated area.
• Avoid direct sun exposure for at least two weeks after treatment.
• Do not scratch or pick at the treated area to allow proper healing.

What Results Can You Expect from Birthmark Removal?

• Gradual fading and lightening of the birthmark over time
• Improved skin tone and texture
• Complete removal or significant reduction in birthmark visibility
• Clearer, more even skin appearance

Most patients will see visible results after the first few sessions, but optimal results typically require 3-5 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
