Question
When is it best to treat a child’s neck mole?
Answer
Vascular birthmarks appear as a patch of red after a baby is born, which can be parallel to the skin or elevated above it. Laser treatment for birthmarks relies on selective photothermal action, which selectively targets the hemoglobin in the blood vessels, heating and destroying the dilated vessels. The other tissues of the skin are not damaged, thereby clearing the dilated vessels without leaving any scars and restoring the skin’s freshness and brightness.
