Looking for laser birthmark removal in Richmond Hill? We use targeted laser to lighten vascular and pigmented birthmarks, planned by clinicians experienced with these lesions.
Birthmarks fall into two main groups. Vascular birthmarks, such as port-wine stains, are made of extra blood vessels. Pigmented birthmarks, such as café-au-lait macules, contain extra melanin.
Each type needs a different laser approach. We assess the birthmark first, confirm what it is, and plan treatment that targets it while protecting surrounding skin.
Birthmark treatment sits within our cosmetic dermatology services and draws on our medical dermatology expertise. Vascular birthmarks share technology with our redness and vein treatments, while pigmented marks relate to our pigmentation treatment.
Pink, red or purple vascular birthmarks.
Flat, light-brown patches.
Assessed case by case.
Most plans combine options, and your consultation decides which suit your skin.
