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 but can appear shortly after birth. These 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-lait 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 birthmark removal for pigmented birthmarks is only suitable for treating lesions which are epidermal, this means the upper layers of the skin. Please note that we do not treat moles.

Vascular birthmarks are caused by increased blood vessels in a given area and include macular stains, hemangiomas and port-wine stains. Laser birthmark removal for vascular (red) birthmarks works 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.

We can also provide Dermalux LED Phototherapy, this is a non-invasive skin treatment that harnesses the power of light to accelerate skin rejuvenation and cellular repair. it is relaxing and pain-free treatment without any downtime, it is clinically proven to treat a wide range of skin concerns, including acne and rosacea, as well as eczema and psoriasis.

After suffering a stroke it was extremely difficult for me to shave so I decided to try laser hair removal… the results were fantastic, I only wish I had done it years ago, thank you Laser Skin Solutions.
