Birthmark on the Forehead
You can remove this surgically or by laser. You are guaranteed it will be completely removed if you remove it surgically yet it might leave a slight scar. It may not be completely removed by a laser.

Birthmark removal scarring
The birthmark can be removed by excision and plastic surgical closure. This is entirely safe. It should be sent for surgical pathology to rule out any changes. If you have concerns about the scarring, the excision could be performed in two stages to reduce the length of the resulting scar. Best of luck.

There are different ways to remove the birthmark: surgically and with laser
Surgically, yes there will be a slight scar but it willbe completely gone
With a Laser it may not be completely gone though there will be no scar at all.
