What are birthmarks?
At King’s College Hospital London in Dubai, we know that birthmarks are common and natural, but they can sometimes affect how people feel about their appearance. Birthmarks are patches of skin that look different in color or texture and are usually present at birth or appear soon after.
There are two main types of birthmarks. The first are vascular birthmarks, which are birthmarks caused by changes in blood vessels. The second type is pigmented birthmarks, which happen when there are more pigment-producing cells in the skin. Most birthmarks are harmless, but some people choose treatment to make them less noticeable or to improve skin texture.
Which birthmarks can be treated?
The best treatment depends on the type, size, depth, and location of your birthmark. At your consultation, your dermatologist will check your skin and recommend the treatment that fits you best.
How are birthmarks treated?
Your treatment will usually include:
- A consultation and skin assessment.
- Identifying the type of birthmark.
- Selection of the most appropriate treatment.
- Personalized treatment tailored to your skin.
- Follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
Some birthmarks improve after just a few sessions, while others need more treatments for gradual results. Your dermatologist will explain what you can expect before you start.
What is recovery like after birthmark treatment?
Recovery usually involves some redness, mild swelling, or sensitivity in the treated area, but these usually go away in a few days.
Your dermatologist will give you clear aftercare instructions, such as how to protect the treated area from the sun and which skincare products to use while your skin heals. Treatments are usually spaced a few weeks apart so your skin can recover between sessions.
What are the benefits of birthmark treatment?
For many people, treatment is about feeling more comfortable in their own skin. Depending on the type of birthmark being treated, potential benefits include:
- A less noticeable birthmark
- A more even-looking skin tone
- Improved confidence in areas that are difficult to cover, such as the face or neck
- Gradual improvement over a series of treatments
- A treatment plan chosen specifically for your skin type and birthmark
- Little interruption to your normal daily routine
