What is Birthmark?
Birthmarks are caused by the excessive growth of cells that produce veins (vascular birthmarks) or pigment (pigmented birthmarks).
Am I a Good Candidate?
- You should determine whether your birthmark is vascular, caused by excessive growth of cells producing veins, or pigmented, caused by excessive growth of cells producing pigment.
- Candidates can be of any age, from infants as young as a few weeks old to children, adolescents, and adults.
- If you are experiencing emotional stress due to your birthmark or are concerned about its potential risk of bleeding or cancer, you may be a good candidate.

More Details:
Birthmarks are due to excessive growth of cells that produce veins (called vascular), or pigment (called pigmented) and can cause major emotional stress to the patients and family.
Rarely, they carry a risk of bleeding or cancer. Both types of birthmarks can be safely removed with our lasers, with a very low potential for scarring. Our extensive laser experience makes the treatment safe and is recommended for the treatment of infants as young as a few weeks old. Multiple sessions are the rule, and once clearance is obtained, maintenance sessions may be necessary. In some cases, birthmarks are best removed surgically, which can be done in stages to reduce the size of the final scar.
