Skin & Surgery International - Laser Birthmark Removal Treatment Treatment in Pune

Laser Birthmark removal treatment is for those who want to get rid of their birthmark. This process can be performed at any age and the color, size, shape and intensity of the birthmark determines the course of the treatment. However, it’s important to take the doctor’s appointment in advance and discuss the need of birthmark removal with him, its benefits and risks, if any, some other means to get rid of it. Generally, a dermatologist or a cosmetic surgeon is the best expert to treat this. In this process, a high energy laser is used to clear the marks as it causes the blot to shrink and stop growing.

Types of Birthmarks

• Vascular Malformation: Port-wine stains are congenital vascular malformations that appear as flat, pink-red birthmarks at birth, darkening to red-purple over time. They are persistent and do not fade. When located on the face, especially around the eye, they may be linked to eye or brain issues.
• Pigmentation-type birthmarks: Birthmarks include moles (congenital nevi), coffee-cream spots, and Mongolian spots. Moles are pigmented skin spots that may pose cancer risks if large. Coffee-cream spots result from excess pigment in the skin.
• Macular Stains (salmon patches): Salmon patches are thin, light pink, flat discolorations often found on babies' necks or eyelids. Those on the eyelids usually fade within the first year, while those on the neck typically persist.
• Haemangioma: Hemangiomas are common infant tumors that appear as lesions within weeks of birth, growing rapidly in the first six to nine months. They typically develop on the head and neck but can also affect internal organs. Some fade within months, while others take years; consult a physician for evaluation.
