The Q-switched Nd:Yag laser is the laser of choice for treating a Nevus of Ota. This laser can be used in infants, but be certain that you are treating with a reputable board-certified physician. Metal eye shields can be placed to protect your baby's eyes. Unlike a port wine stain, which benefits from treatment in early infancy, a Nevus of Ota can be treated with good results in childhood or adulthood.
