We combine medical expertise with cutting-edge laser technologies to deliver effective, minimally invasive treatments suitable for patients of all ages — from newborns to adults.

What Are Birthmarks and Hemangiomas?

Birthmarks are colored skin spots that appear at or shortly after birth. They can be pigmented birthmarks (caused by excess melanin) or vascular birthmarks (caused by abnormal blood vessels). While many are harmless, some may grow, change color, or cause self-consciousness.

Hemangiomas are a type of vascular birthmark composed of extra blood vessels in the skin. They often appear as bright red or purple raised areas during infancy and may grow before slowly shrinking. However, in some cases, they can become problematic — interfering with vision, breathing, or feeding, or leaving behind cosmetic irregularities that require medical attention.

Types of Birthmarks We Treat at DRHC

• Port-Wine Stains: Flat red or purple marks that can darken over time; treated effectively with laser therapy.
• Café-au-Lait Spots: Light brown patches that may appear anywhere on the body; evaluated for medical significance.
• Mongolian Spots: Blue-gray marks commonly seen on infants; often fade but are monitored for persistence.
• Hemangiomas: Raised vascular growths that may require laser or medical intervention based on size and location.
• Venous Malformations: Deeper vascular lesions that can cause swelling or pain, treated through specialized therapies.

Our Advanced Treatment Options

At DRHC, our dermatologists assess the type, depth, and nature of each lesion to develop a tailored treatment plan. Our options include:

• Laser Therapy: Non-invasive and highly precise, laser therapy targets abnormal pigment or blood vessels with minimal skin damage. Commonly used lasers include pulsed dye, Nd: YAG, and Q-switched lasers.
• Topical or Oral Medications: In cases of active or proliferating hemangiomas, beta-blockers like propranolol may be prescribed to safely reduce growth.
• Surgical Excision: Reserved for large or resistant lesions, ensuring optimal cosmetic results and minimal scarring.
• Phototherapy and Combined Treatments: For complex cases, we may combine laser, medication, and minor surgical techniques to achieve the best outcome.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

During your consultation, our dermatologist will perform a detailed skin assessment and, if necessary, recommend imaging to evaluate the depth of the lesion. The treatment procedure depends on the birthmark type:

• For laser treatment: A topical anesthetic may be applied for comfort. The laser session lasts about 15–30 minutes, depending on the area.
• For hemangioma therapy: Depending on the stage and growth rate, medication or a combination of laser and medical treatment is planned.
• For surgical cases: The procedure is done under local or general anesthesia with expert precision to minimize scarring.

Post-treatment, mild redness or swelling may occur but typically subsides within a few days. Our team provides aftercare guidance to promote optimal healing.
