Birthmarks are vascular malformations in the skin. Most commonly these are known as “port wine stains” or “strawberry birthmarks” (haemangiomas).
Birthmarks can be treated effectively with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) or vascular lasers. The energy targets the colour in the birthmark, causing the blood vessels to shut down.
How many treatments will I need?
Each person is assessed individually but usually 4 - 6 treatments at monthly intervals are required.
Will the birthmark return in the future?
Maintenance treatments are often required where there is new blood vessel formation.
