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

Types Of Birthmark Removal Dorset

Pigmented birthmarks are caused by excess melanin (skin pigment) and include moles, cafe-au-lait spots and Mongolian spots. Our treatment for this 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 in other words, the upper layers of the skin. Dermal pigmented birthmarks are not suitable for laser or IPL treatment.

Vascular birthmarks, these are caused by an increase in blood vessels in a specific area and include macular stains, hemangiomas and port-wine stains. The treatment works by heating up the blood in the excess vessels. The dried blood then gets cleared and carried away by our own white blood cells in the same way that our bodies clear a bruise.
