Getting Rid of My Cafe Au Lait Spot - Virginia Beach, VA

Hello. I have had this birthmark all of my life and I am tired of it. It in on my chest so I cannot wear V Neck tops or scooped neck things. Also, I was told that my father had similar birth marks on his body. I don't want to be anything like him because he was a deadbeat who did not do his job. So, I am getting this removed.

The first picture is after my first treatment. It got a bit darker after my first treatment as I was warned that it would. But, after that, it is supposed to fade. I had to pay a $97 consultation fee (which was way too high IMHO for a consultation) and $125 per treatment for the laser. The laser is the new state of the art Picosure laser. The equipment is very expensive and this is new technology so I can justify the price on the actual procedure. I am guessing I will need about 3 treatments.

The doctor seems to think I will need less. But, when I was adding up the total cost, I just put $472 for Realself to accommodate the consultation charge and three treatments. We shall see.

I haven't really seen any results yet. But, it could take up to six weeks to see results. So, we shall see.

I had a second treatment about a week ago. The birthmark turned black and peeled. Now, a piece in the middle is gone and it looks like it is fading around the perimeter as well. The picture does not look as good as it looks in real life. I hope the improvement continues and I don't have to have too many more treatments. This session was a bit more painful even with the numbing cream. But, it was nothing I could not handle and it was such a small area that it was over fast.
