Laser Birthmark Removal Surgery In India
There are several types of birthmarks that respond well to laser treatment. At the Medispa Institute, we can treat café-au-lait macules, which are brown birthmarks of varying size, and Nevus of Ota, a birthmark that normally appears around the eye on one side of the face.
What is involved in the treatment ?
Skin blemishes that are present at birth or appear soon after are generally referred to as 'birthmarks'. These may be red or brown and represent an overgrowth of superficial blood vessels or pigment cells. The treatment of these birthmarks depends on the type of lesion.
A ] Port wine stain birthmarks
These flat red marks are present at birth and will not disappear over time. Until recently, these disfiguring birthmarks were life-long problems which have the potential to thicken and become more unsightly with ageing. As the foundation director of the laser unit at the Royal Children\'s Hospital, Dr Bekhor has been using laser therapy to fade and, in many cases, remove these birthmarks in young children before they start school.....
B ] Haemangiomas (Strawberry birthmarks)
These are flat red birthmarks that are not present immediately at birth but appear in the first weeks of life. They birthmarks often grow and thicken rapidly and, in extreme circumstances, ulcerate. This type of haemangioma will usually disappear by 10 years of age, but may cause developmental and social problems before this. Again, Candela Perfecta™ pulsed dye laser is the treatment of choice to arrest the growth and thickening of these birthmarks......
C ] Spider naevi
These small annoying red spots often appear in young children and can lead to teasing at school. They are caused by the dilation of a small arteriole close to the skin. Fortunately, they respond very well to laser treatment with the pulsed dye laser and usually only a single laser treatment is necessary.......
D ] Brown birthmarks
Like vascular (red) birthmarks, some of these are present at birth while others appear over time. The skin colour- producing cell is known as a melanocyte and the brown colour produced is referred to as melanin. Brown birthmarks are caused by a proliferation of melanocyte cells or an increase in melanin production in a specific area.......
Recovery
With café-au-lait macules, you may resume normal activities immediately, however, you may experience some redness and/or swelling for several hours. For Nevus-of-Ota, the treatments are of necessity very strong, therefore you can expect 2-7 days of redness, bruising, crusting, and tenderness..
Results
With laser birthmark removal, although we aim for complete clearance, a more realistic expectation is significant lightening of the birthmark to about 70-90, which is a very good outcome of the laser treatment......
