Laser Treatment for Birthmarks at Soni Derma Clinic is an effective option for reducing or removing various types of birthmarks. Birthmarks can be pigmented (like moles or café-au-lait spots) or vascular (such as hemangiomas or port-wine stains). Lasers are often used to target and treat these marks based on their type, color, and depth. Here’s an overview of how laser treatments for birthmarks work at Soni Derma Clinic:
Types of Birthmarks and Laser Treatments
-
Pigmented Birthmarks:
- Examples: Nevus (moles), café-au-lait spots, and freckles.
- Laser Treatment:
- Q-Switched Lasers: These lasers are effective for targeting melanin (the pigment in the skin). They work by emitting short bursts of light that break down pigment, which is then gradually eliminated by the body's natural processes.
- Fractional Lasers: These lasers create micro-injuries in the skin that promote collagen production and help reduce pigmentation. They are useful for deeper or more resistant pigmentation.
-
Vascular Birthmarks:
- Examples: Port-wine stains, hemangiomas, and telangiectasia.
- Laser Treatment:
- Pulse Dye Lasers (PDL): These lasers target blood vessels and are effective for reducing the appearance of red or purple vascular birthmarks. They work by emitting light that is absorbed by the blood vessels, causing them to constrict and fade.
- NdLasers: These can penetrate deeper into the skin and are often used for treating deeper vascular lesions or those that are resistant to other types of lasers.
