Birthmarks Removal Treatment

Birthmarks are generally harmless and pose no danger to health and well-being. In fact, some signs even disappear entirely on their own with age.

Dermatologists can often tell you if the birthmark will fade or stay on your skin. After examining your birthmark, your doctor can also let you know whether it needs to be removed and whether Laser Birthmark Removal in Abu Dhabi is the best treatment for your skin.

Aim of Treatment:

It is a clinical process that can alter the look of birthmarks practically wherever on the body and is conducted by a dermatologist or trained plastic surgeon. The topmost layer of the skin is penetrated with a pulsing, high-intensity laser, which causes enough warmth and discomfort to ablate pigment cells and blood vessels. The technique is simple, and a single treatment typically takes less than half an hour to finish.

Are Birthmarks Dangerous?

The majority of birthmarks do not cause serious health problems. Thus they do not need to be removed for health reasons. Individuals may be self-aware of their birthmarks, mainly if they are prominent or noticeable, or even on the face or neck.

What Causes Birthmarks?

The exact cause of birthmarks is unknown. Birthmarks that have been present in a person since birth can be caused by the pigments that give the skin its color or may be related to the veins, as opposed to spots on the skin created by external sources such as the sun.

They are most commonly found on the face, neck, nape, and arm-leg areas. Depending on the type of birthmark, they can come in a variety of hues, including white, pink, red, light brown, and purple. Pigment-related patches may go away on their own or reduce in size over time. 

Results:

Although the treatment outcomes differ, individuals usually notice a considerable improvement in the appearance of their skin after two to twelve treatment sessions.

Procedure:

After conducting a preliminary examination, the nature of the stain to be removed with laser is evaluated. The treatment follows the following steps:

1. The dermatologist acts directly with the laser on the latter, destroying the excessively colored cells of the skin disintegrating them.
2. Usually, the patient feels only a slight tingling. However, if you do not want to endure even this discomfort, anesthetic creams can be applied before the treatment.
3. These are recommended if the size of the spot is enormous. The duration of the session depends on the size of the area to be treated.
4. Usually, we never insist beyond 20 minutes not to put too much stress on the skin.

To eliminate very extensive or numerous stains, a cycle of several sessions can be organized, which, however, must be spaced at least 30 days from each other.

Aftercare:

After laser birthmark removal therapy, you should take good care of your skin. Here are some tips:
