Birthmarks can be due to accumulation of pigment or abnormal blood vessels.
Birthmarks may be present at birth or appear a few years later! Not all birthmarks are present at birth. Some can resolve spontaneously. We generally don't advice treating children. If birthmarks persist into adulthood we can treat them.
Vascular lesions
We offer non-invasive gentle treatments for liver spots which are small red or pink spots usually on abdomen or face but can occur anywhere on the body. Usually only 1 or 2 sessions of treatment are required. The spots turn dark purple/ grey and then fade away over next few days. Same technique is used for haemangioms, spider naevi and birthmarks.
