Birthmark removal with a laser
Look for appointment timesBirthmark laser removal is a safe procedure that allows individuals to remove unwanted birthmarks for either aesthetic purposes or if the birthmark is constantly getting injured. Friction from clothes, shaving, UV radiation or other constant injuries have a risk of causing birthmark tissue to develop a dangerous tumour – melanoma.
Birthmark laser removal is an alternative to surgical removal, because in most instances it leaves no marks or the marks are barely visible. At the Confido skin and laser therapy treatment clinic, birthmark laser removal is done only by certified laser treatment doctors after an obligatory consultation and referral from a dermatologist Every birthmark the individual wants removed must be examined and the decision regarding how to remove them is made by the dermatologist.
In some cases, a recurring appointment with a dermatologist is necessary after the procedure.
How does birthmark laser removal work?
Birthmark removal only happens after a referral from a dermatologist. A biopsy is completed before removal if necessary. Before the laser procedure, a microneedle is used to make an anaesthetic injection into the area from which the mark will be removed. The laser therapy doctor directs a laser beam at the birthmark, which evaporates it without damaging the surrounding skin. There won’t be any bleeding as the blood vessels will be closed with a laser beam during the procedure. The depth of the treatment is precisely controlled and only birthmark tissue is removed. The skin will develop a crust after the removal is done, and the crust will disappear in due course. The place of removal will be treated with an antiseptic and a bandage will be applied after the procedure.
Healing following a laser removal is normally quicker and more comfortable and the scars are less visible. Take into consideration that each recovery is individual. The laser removal technique has been applied around the globe for several decades and they have proven to be safe and effective.
