Safe, Targeted Removal of Vascular and Pigmented Birthmarks

Laser birthmark removal is a non-invasive treatment that effectively reduces the appearance of various types of birthmarks—whether red, brown, or bluish in color. At Yeongjong Central Dermatology Clinic, our dermatologists use advanced laser systems to safely treat both vascular and pigmented birthmarks with precision and minimal downtime.

Understanding Birthmarks

Birthmarks are benign skin irregularities present from birth or early childhood. They may vary in color, size, and depth. Common types include:

• Café-au-lait spots (light brown pigmentation)
• Nevus of Ota or Ito (bluish or grayish patches)
• Port-wine stains (red or purple vascular birthmarks)
• Hemangiomas (raised, red lesions)
• Becker’s nevus (brown patches, often with hair growth)

While usually harmless, many individuals seek treatment for cosmetic or psychological reasons.

Diagnosis at Yeongjong Central

Our dermatologists perform a comprehensive skin assessment to determine the type, depth, and responsiveness of the birthmark to laser therapy. The consultation includes:

• Visual and dermatoscopic examination
• Evaluation of skin type, tone, and lesion size
• Classification of birthmark as vascular or pigmented
• Customized laser protocol and number of sessions needed

Multiple wavelengths may be used depending on the birthmark’s nature and color.

Treatment Process

1. Cleansing and Anesthetic Application

• The area is cleaned and numbing cream is applied for comfort
• Protective eyewear is provided during treatment

2. Laser Session

• Pigmented birthmarks are treated using Q-switched or Pico lasers
• Vascular birthmarks are treated using vascular-specific lasers (e.g., pulsed dye laser)
