Is it possible to remove dark cafe au lait birthmark? (Photos)

Asked By:reginamak in Los Angeles, CA

I have a dark cafe au lait birthmark on and by my right eye. I was wondering is it possible to remove it completely or will it just be lightened. Also, if it does remove completely, what are the chances that the pigmentation will come back? And is it safe/painful since it is around the eye area? What are some things I should look for/research in a dermatologist around my area to get the best treatment?
