|  Birthmarks
Most birthmarks are smooth, flat, light brown areas of discoloration.
They do not go away by themselves and may increase in number. Birthmarks
look like areas of discoloration or overgrowth of tissue on the
skin and may extend into deeper tissues beneath the skin. Many birthmarks
can change and grow over time.
There are many types of birthmarks. Following are some of the most
common:
Port-wine
stains (nevi flammeus) are flat
birthmarks that are a pink-red color at birth and darken to a red-purple
color by several years of age.
Hemangiomas
are the most common type of birthmark.
They are birthmarks that form when many immature blood vessels group
together on the skin. Blood vessels are tiny tubes that carry blood
through the body.
Birthmarks can be found in any area of the body. Different types
of birthmarks tend to be located in similar or consistent areas
in different people.
The cause of most types of birthmarks
is unknown. Many birthmarks are considered hereditary.
The Laser Clinic lasers feature innovative ultra-long pulse duration,
the longest offered in a laser
that treats various birthmarks. This
means that each pulse delivers laser energy to targeted blood vessels
over longer periods of time, resulting in a gentle heating effect
and uniform results.
By heating targeted vessels more gently, The Laser Clinic avoids
the downtime that bruising may cause (otherwise known as purpura).
The Laser Clinic combines large laser
spot sizes with the ability to vary laser pulse durations. This
allows treatments to be quick,
effective, and comfortable. Results
may vary based on your individual situation. Please contact us for
details.
