Birthmark Removal

A birthmark is an irregular blemish on the surface of the skin that is usually present from birth or can develop soon afterwards. While most of them of entirely harmless, certain complications in very rare instances mean that sufferers have to seek medical treatment, whereas many other patients seek cosmetic treatment purely based on the undesirable appearance of their birthmark.

What Causes Birthmarks?

Birthmarks vary greatly in characteristics such as size, shape, texture and colour, but most can be categorised as either vascular birthmarks or pigmented birthmarks. The first of these types manifest as a result of abnormal blood vessels beneath the surface of the skin, while the latter is caused by certain pigmentation concerns where pigmented cells cluster together.

As you can imagine, this often poses negative implications for sufferers in terms of general happiness and self-confidence, having a profound impact on your day-to-day life. This is particularly the case when it comes to very visible birthmarks in exposed areas, such as the face, arms and legs. However, as mentioned above, there are treatment options available to you to help eliminate unwanted birthmarks and help you to regain your confidence and love for your skin.
