Birthmark Removal in Pacific Heights*

Birthmarks are normal and benign. It's also normal for someone to want to part ways with a birthmark. Here, Dr. Austin effectively and safely removed a cafe-au-lait birthmark with the Alexandrite laser to remove the brown pigment, without scarring. The patient is thrilled! Typically, it takes ~6-8 treatments to remove a pigmented lesion like a birthmark. Strict sun protection improves results and prevents birthmarks from returning.
