Birthmark Treatments FAQ in Grand Blanc, MI

Why are birthmarks called?

Birthmarks get their name for one simple reason: They are marks that are present on the skin of a lot of newborn babies! A baby can develop birthmarks either before being born or soon after birth. One of the most common types of birthmarks is called a hemangioma (say: he-man-jee-OH-muh).

Why do birthmarks get bigger?

These birthmarks form when skin cells produce an excess of melanin, which is the body’s natural pigment. Café-au-lait birthmarks generally don’t fade and may get bigger or darker over time. Most are harmless.

Do birthmarks get worse?

Most birthmarks are not serious, and some go away on their own. Some stay the same or get worse as you get older. Usually birthmarks are only a concern for your appearance. But certain types can increase your risk of skin cancer.

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 slugging skin?

“Skin slugging is simply the application of an occlusive to act as a barrier to seal moisture into the skin. Dermatologists have been recommending for years as the last step in your skin care routine to treat dry skin, as we know that skin slugging helps prevent water loss,” says Cheung.

What are birthmarks made of?

Birthmarks are made up of malformed pigment cells or blood vessels. Although the cause of birthmarks is not known, most of them are benign (noncancerous) and do not require treatment. Babies with birthmarks should be examined and diagnosed by a health care provider.

Can birthmark be removed permanently?

Your birthmark can be removed by performing minor surgery. It can be done for very deep hemangiomas that might damage your healthy tissues. It is usually an outpatient treatment and may even be done in your dermatologist’s office rather than a hospital.

Does IPL get rid of birthmarks?

IPL treatments close off the blood vessels forming the birthmark that eventually causes it to fade. They also work on flat pigmented birthmarks, but not on raised birthmarks.

Can lasers be used to remove birthmarks and tattoos?

How does Laser work to remove Tattoo/birthmarks? Laser beams penetrate skin upto the level of tattooed ink/pigmented birth mark and break it down into small particles. These fragmented particles are slowly cleared from that site by body’s own defense cells and eventually tattoo is cleared in 6 to 8 sittings.

What happens if you cut off a birthmark?

Shaving or cutting your mole can disfigure your skin and leave a scar if done improperly. Removing a mole without sterile equipment in a nonsurgical condition may lead to infection. If your mole is cancerous, the cells can remain in the skin and spread.

How do you prevent birthmarks?

There is no known way to prevent birthmarks. People with birthmarks should use a good quality sunscreen when outdoors in order to prevent complications.

What are the different types of birthmarks?

Strawberry hemangioma. Medical name: Superficial infantile hemangioma. Deep hemangioma (he-man-gee-oh-ma) Medical name: Cavernous infantile hemangioma. Salmon patch. Medical name: Nevus simplex. Nevus sebaceous (knee-vus seh-bay-ceous)

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).

Should birthmarks be removed?

Many birthmarks do not require surgical intervention and either shrink and fade on their own or respond well to medication or laser therapy. However, our dermatologists may recommend surgery for some types of birthmarks.
