Birthmarks
There are many different types of birthmarks that can be present on the skin. These pigmented areas are often found on an individual when they are born and can last a lifetime. However, sometimes, the marks are present in visible areas, such as the face, and can make patients feel self-conscious about their appearance. At The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute, we are pleased to offer a birthmark treatment that allows patients to get rid of birthmarks without surgery, and that treatment is called laser birthmark reduction.
Laser birthmark reduction
When patients visit Dr. M. Christine Lee of Walnut Creek, CA looking for a method of removal for birthmarks, they are often worried that they will need surgical treatment. Fortunately, with continued advances in medicine and technology, as well as the use of lasers, patients can now work to fade birthmarks away using laser birthmark reduction. This treatment is:
- Safe
- Effective
- Affordable
- FDA-cleared
Patients will schedule several sessions with their doctor which they will attend for laser therapy. The light can break up the pigmentation of the birthmark, and, after each treatment, the birthmark will lighten in color. The laser therapy allows patients to accomplish removal without having to worry about excision and scarring from surgical treatments.
