Understanding Birthmarks and Other Marks
While freckles, birthmarks, port wine stains, and other types of pigmentation are natural occurrences, unsightly marks on the face, arms, or body can be distracting or even detract from one’s beauty. At Ava MD, we can provide the best treatment options available to get rid of dermal and epidermal pigmentations regardless of skin tone or type. Common types of birthmarks fall under the following two categories:
Vascular marks: Port wine stains, salmon patches, and hemangiomas are made of blood vessels that have been damaged or did not form correctly, causing a red appearance to the skin.
Pigmented marks: Freckles, cafe au lait spots, Mongolian spots, moles, and melasma are caused by an overproduction of pigmentation, whether at birth or due to hormonal changes, that range in color from tan to black.
Reliable Treatment Options for Pigmentation
When determining which treatment option is best suited to a particular patient’s skin concerns, our dermatologists determine the following:
- Where the pigmentation is located
- Type and size of pigmentation
- How deep the pigmentation is on the skin
- How long the mark has existed
