reasons. Laser birthmark removal is one of the most advanced and effective methods that we use at our clinic. If you’re considering this procedure, here’s what you need to know.

How Does Laser Birthmark Removal Work?

Birthmark removal laser treatment uses targeted laser energy to break down the pigments or blood vessels that contribute to the appearance of the birthmark. The procedure is non-invasive and performed in outpatient settings.

The type of laser used depends on the nature of the birthmark:

• Pigmented Birthmarks (e.g., café-au-lait spots): Lasers target melanin, the pigment responsible for the darker colour.
• Vascular Birthmarks (e.g., port-wine stains): Lasers focus on the blood vessels, causing them to shrink and fade over time.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Before starting the treatment, you have to consult with our experts to determine the best approach. During the session:

1. We prepare the area by cleaning and applying a numbing cream.
2. After that, we use an advanced laser to target the birthmark. Most sessions last between 20–30 minutes.
3. In the end, a cooling gel or soothing cream is applied to reduce redness and swelling.

The result comes after few sessions. However, it can take multiple sessions for optimal results if the mark is large or deep. The complete process is free from incisions and stitches. Plus, it has minimal downtime or quick recovery. Most individuals can return to their daily activities immediately.

Potential Risks and Considerations

• Temporary redness, swelling, or irritation.
• Rarely, discolouration or scarring.
• Not all birthmarks respond equally to laser treatment, and complete removal may not always be possible.
