Birthmark Treatments FAQ in Kenosha, WI

Can Microneedling remove birthmarks?

If you do have a birthmark that you’d like to remove, we provide photodynamic therapy and microneedling with radiofrequency to stimulate the growth of healthy, new skin cells. * Learn more about photodynamic therapy here and microneedling here.

Can birthmarks turn cancerous?

Most birthmarks, such as the common port wine stains and strawberry marks, carry no risk of developing into a cancer. But a very rare type, called a giant congenital melanocytic naevus, can develop into a melanoma if it is larger than 20cm.

What is the most common birthmark?

Salmon patches (also called stork bites, angel kisses, or macular stains) are the most common type of 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.

How can I flatten my birthmark?

Shaving or surgery physically removes the birthmark, whereas lasers shrink blood vessels to make vascular birthmarks less visible. Medication is also used to shrink certain birthmarks, like some hemangiomas.

Is laser birthmark removal painful?

The pain of the laser is similar to small flicks on the skin with a rubber band. Most adults can tolerate this, but children may find it more difficult and require some anaesthetic cream or mild sedation. See our fact sheet Sedation for procedures.

Is it rare to have a brown birthmark?

Café-au-lait spots are named for their light brown color: “Café-au-lait” means “coffee with milk” in French. Although some are present at birth, most café-au-lait spots appear well after a child is born. They are relatively common—as many as 30 percent of children have a café-au-lait birthmark by age 6.

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.

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.

How long does it take to remove a birthmark with laser?

Birthmark removal treatment can take as little as 10 minutes, and the procedure can be carried out safely by a qualified doctor using a special type of laser.

Can Vaseline remove spots?

The conclusion: No, Vaseline does not treat acne. In fact, using Vaseline on your face may actually cause breakouts. Here’s what you should know.

When should I be worried about my birthmark?

Because port wine stains and certain hemangiomas can be disfiguring and embarrassing for children, Rozell-Shannon advises parents to consult with a vascular birthmarks specialist if their child’s birthmark has gotten larger or darker, or isn’t diminishing on its own.
