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

July 31, 2016
Asked By:molissa01 in Chicago, IL

I've heard for creams that fade birthmarks, but never tried them. I can't seem to find a doctor near me or 100 miles from me to perform laser light treatment for my Cafe Au lait birthmark on my face. I have used makeup or bangs to cover it up all my life and now am ready to get it removed.
