I want laser light treatment for cafe Au lait birthmark. Any suggestions?

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Lasers can used to improve these types of moles/birthmarks but often will recur.  Please see an expert for treatment.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. There are specific lasers for pigmented lesions. We continue to be one of the most comprehensive laser centers in the Midwest offering multi-modality treatments.Best wishes
