Laser birthmark removal is a simple, effective and non-invasive way of removing unwanted birthmarks. A birthmark is a benign (harmless) lesion on the skin which is usually present at birth (or can appear shortly after birth) and can occur anywhere on the body. Dermatologists divide birthmarks into two types, namely pigmented birthmarks and vascular birthmarks.

Pigmented birthmarks are caused by excess melanin (skin pigment) and include moles, cafe-au spots and Mongolian spots. Laser birthmark removal for pigmented birthmarks works by heating the lesion using laser light. The dark lesion absorbs the light, turns darker and forms a light crust. This in turn breaks up and flakes away, much like removing a sunspot. Laser birthmarks are only suitable for treating lesions which are epidermal in other words, in the upper layers of the skin. Dermal pigmented birthmarks are not suitable for laser or IPL treatment. Vascular birthmarks are caused by increase blood vessels in a given area and include macular stains, hemangiomas and port-wine stains. Laser birthmark removal for vascular (red) birthmarks by heating the blood in the excess vessels. The dried blood then gets cleared and carried away by our white blood cells in the same way that our bodies clear a bruise.
