Birthmark Treatments FAQ in Burlingame, CA

How many treatments does it take to remove a birthmark?

In our experience, the best results occur when a series of treatments, usually between four and six, take place over two or three years. The length of each treatment session varies according to whether your child has treatment under general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic and the characteristics of their birthmark.

Do birthmark removal creams work?

Answer: Birthmark creams don’t work There are many types of birthmarks, but I can answer for all of them that creams will not work to remove any type of birthmark. I think you should see a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon for an evaluation and recommendations. Don’t waste your money on creams.

What is a beauty mark vs birthmark?

Moles and birthmarks are not necessarily one in the same, but they can be easily confused as a mole can be present at birth. Some doctors do consider a mole as a “beauty mark” as it is a pigmentated area. However, birthmarks are flat and located on the surface of the skin, while a mole will protrude above the skin.

What is the difference between a mole and a birthmark?

Moles are growths on the skin that are usually brown or black; they may be located, alone or in groups, anywhere on the body. A birthmark is a colored mark that appears soon after a baby’s birth.

What do cancerous birthmarks look like?

One part of a mole or birthmark doesn’t match the other. The edges are irregular, ragged, notched, or blurred. The color is not the same all over and may include shades of brown or black, sometimes with patches of pink, red, white, or blue.

Does olive oil get rid of birthmarks?

Containing moisturizing capabilities, if used on your skin, hair, or nail beds, it can make you feel revitalized. However, just because it’s moisturizing, it doesn’t mean that olive oil will be able to get rid of your birthmark.

What kind of birthmark is rare?

Nevus Sebaceous “This type of birthmark is very rare but it is important because it has a high risk of developing into basal cell skin cancer. It is one of the few birthmarks that may be surgically removed at an early age to prevent it from becoming cancerous,” says Miller.

Can I laser my birthmark?

Laser is used to treat skin birthmarks, such as brown/black spots and vascular lesions (pink or red marks caused by abnormal blood vessels). Vascular lesions include port wine stains and haemangiomas (strawberry naevus).

How can I hide birthmarks on my face?

1 Use a Foundation Brush. If you’re trying to cover up your spots and dots then you should consider using a foundation brush. 2 Try Colored Concealer. 3 Use Loose Powder. 4 Don’t Forget Highlighter. 5 Use a Camouflaging Makeup. 6 Try a Birthmark Removal Cream. 7 Show It off Proudly.

Can you tattoo over birthmarks?

Although tattooing over birthmarks is often accepted by artists, it’s usually done so without a thorough understanding of the risks it could present in the future. For your overall skin health and to keep you protected, it’s better to avoid tattooing over birthmarks.
