laser removal birthmarks

My concern is that treating this birthmark with a laser will possibly cause damage to this highly sensitive part of the body. Another concern of mine is that once treated, it will return.

See a dermatologist. Maybe they have a laser that can help you, but they are probably going to have to be treated with a procedure. I have had moles snipped off and stitches put in or cauterization done in the office. Scarring is minimal and they look better than before removal. They just anesthetize with a an injection. It hurts a bit, but you can handle it.

For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

your link just said that the CO2 laser works really well with great cosmetic results. That laser, CO2 laser, is a relatively new laser, and does have a wide range of conditions that it can treat. Though there are numerous other lasers that can be used. Going for surgery may only cause more scar tissue growth and leave a similar marking on the lip. Talk to your doctor about your options and then decide from there.

The shape of the tan spots vary, but they look like watermarks or birthmarks (kind of like water droplets that soaked into the skin). The tan color is very weak, does not stand out, and seemingly normal, but yet distinctly recognizable. The general pattern of the tan spots seems to go down the shaft of the penis, starting at the top of the foreskin covering the glans, down towards about 1/2 way down the penis. Most of it is on the dorsal side and some on the underside.

‘Selective photothermolysis’ is a term that describes how pigmentation ‘selectively’ takes up the energy given out from the laser in preference to that of the normal skin. This allows the laser to selectively disrupt the pigment with minimal or no damage to surrounding skin. ref:http://www.sesderma.co.uk/pigmentation.

You could also try laser hair removal. It's expensive and a bit painful, but it would significantly reduce the amount of hair permanently. It works best for people with darker hair and lighter skin since the laser looks for the color contrast. If you do laser hair removal, you'll probably use a lidocaine cream 30 minutes before the treatment. It basically feels like a rubber band snapping on your skin. Laser hair removal requires several treatments to work.

Hi, I had a mole on my face and I did a mole excursion, a small brown spot grew back, and I did a mole laser removal surgery to get it remove. However after the laser removal surgery, my mole is not disorted and grown, it doesn't seem to be a tissue scar cause it is dark brown and a raiser lump has occurred. Is this an indication of something? Can I get mole removal again using laser or excision or it would keep coming back? Thanks!

This is unique because it is relatively painless and unlike the laser hair removal process, IPL works equally well on most skin pigmentations without removing any of the pigment. IPL hair removal is reported to safely and effectively eliminate hair of all colors: blond, red, brown, black and even white. There are differences between laser and IPL. In IPL the intense light is absorbed by the pigment in the follicles and converted into heat.
