Birthmarks
If you have a birthmark in a place where frankly you would prefer it not to be, then why not have it removed? A course of cosmetic laser surgery can eliminate the mark so that you no longer need to worry about this unwanted feature.
Birthmarks are caused simply by discolouration of the skin from dilated capillaries. Our quick and safe cosmetic laser procedures are ideal for their elimination.
Treatment
A laser beam is passed through the surface of the skin to reach the dilated capillaries and blood vessels within the birthmark causing the vessel walls to collapse and later dissolve within the body.
The Aura Starpulse is known as the gentle laser. Patients feel virtually nothing up to a sensation of a hot pinprick for a fraction of a second, it is so gentle that local anaesthetic is seldom necessary.
What to expect immediately after treatment
The tissue may appear a little paler immediately following laser application.
Expected outcome
Multiple treatments will be required and the overall outcome will depend on the initial severity of the mark. You will be advised on the potential outcome at your initial consultation.
