Port Wine Stain Birthmarks are vascular lesions caused by venual malformations that allow blood to pool in the affected area. It is generally believed that the underlying cause is a defect in the nerves that control the diameter of the affected blood vessels which allows them to dilate abnormally. It takes several treatments to diminsih the appearance of a port wine birthmark. Since the underlying cause is nerve related these birthmarks will generally reappear over time and require subsequent periodic retreatment to keep them faded.

Pigmented Birthmarks

Pigmented birthmarks (pigmented lesions) are sometimes called cafe-au-lait spots. They are caused by an excess of melanin in the underlying layers of your skin. The depth of these birthmarks varies from person to person, so accordingly the number of treatments required to remove them varies. Unlike vascular lesions they are unlikely to return after treatment.

Our Experience Makes All the Difference

Laser treatment of birthmarks requires an experienced laser operator. Varying depths of treatment and laser wavelengths are used depending on the nature of the birthmark itself. Experience in making these treatment decisions is critical to your happiness with the end result. The doctors at Hughes Cosmetic Surgery specialize in cosmetic laser and minimally invasive procedures. All three of our locations are dedicated exclusively to the practice of cosmetic medicine.

Our Experience Makes the Difference

Cosmetic treatments are as much art as skill. In order to acheive the best possible results you need an experienced professional who can help guide you to the most promising treatment method, and then skillfully apply their experience to that specific treatment. Some doctors do cosmetic procedures as a sideline, but not Hughes Cosmetic Surgery. Both of our locations are dedicated exclusively to the practice of cosmetic medicine. It’s all we do.
