Birthmark Removal?

[Stu8]

I know of a few people hat have had their tatooes removed.

I was just wandering if they can remove birthmarks too?

[Calisto]

Birth marks can be removed but it depends on how it is removed by the shape, depth, size and where abouts on the body the birth mark is located. :bookworm:

[jaxx]

yup i know someone who wanted the same deal

but the birthmark penetrated every layer of skin down to flesh and bone

so there was really no chance it could be removed without removing a wad of flesh!

Yes...

I read an article about it recently and yes it is possible. They were concentrating more on the "red wine stain" type birthmarks and mentioned 2 processes, Laser and a sort of bleach injection method.

it's on the lower offside of my stomach.

It's quite big and looks abit like a satelite view of the UK (well to me it does)

It not red it's a tanned brown. it goes darker when i sunbathe so it's not like I can hide it

That picture looks promising

Will a laser leave a scar?

[T V O R]

Will a laser leave a scar?

No...

[Stu8]

dont know if you can answer this.

but as i'm quite tanned will the area be able to tan like the rest of me?

[Gareth B]

I would have thought so, given time.

Ha my birth mark looks to me like a view of the uk too and if I look at it on its side it looks like one of the three lions on England FC's crest :P

Except it is small and on my leg.

[Stu8]

Never looked at it sideways; it does looks kind of disturbing from that angle though.

can anyone give me a contact No. for a clinic?
