Birthmark Removal in Toronto
What can the birthmark removal procedure do for me?
Birthmarks are a discolouration of the skin caused by a high density of melanin, the pigmentation that gives skin its colour, or a high concentration of blood vessels. Although they are natural and common as more than 10 in 100 babies have birthmarks, they may be considered cosmetically undesirable or cause personal discomfort, in which case there are ways to safely and effectively treat the area. Common types of birthmarks include cafe-au-lait spots, Mongolian spots, salmon patches, hemangiomas, and port wine stains.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE BIRTHMARK REMOVAL PROCESS
- Initial Consultation: The first step involves a consultation where our clinician specialists evaluate your skin and birthmark type. This allows us to create a treatment plan for your personal needs.
- Procedure: Depending on the birthmark, treatments may involve laser therapy, electrocautery, or a combination of methods. Most sessions are quick and painless, with durations averaging 30-60 minutes.
- Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, patients may experience mild redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few days. Cooling gels and topical creams may be recommended to aid recovery and minimize discomfort.
