Understanding Birthmarks and Moles
Types of Birthmarks
Birthmarks can be broadly classified into pigmented birthmarks, such as cafe au lait spots, Mongolian spots and vascular birthmarks. Pigmented birthmarks are caused by an excess of pigment in the skin, while vascular birthmarks are due to abnormal blood vessels.
Types of Moles
Moles, also known as nevi, can vary in appearance and are generally classified as common moles, atypical moles and congenital moles. Most moles are benign, but it’s important to monitor them for any changes that might indicate skin cancer.
Causes and Risk Factors
Birthmarks and moles are often congenital but can also develop over time due to factors like sun exposure. Regular monitoring and professional evaluation are crucial, especially for suspicious lesions.
Treatment Options at Shire Aesthetics
Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing
Fractional laser skin resurfacing is a highly effective treatment for reducing the appearance of birthmarks and moles. It works by targeting the pigmented cells and promoting new skin cell growth, ensuring minimal scarring and a smooth healing process.
Laser Scar Treatments
Laser scar treatments are designed to break down pigmented cells in birthmarks and moles, encouraging the regeneration of healthy skin. This method ensures precise targeting, leading to a significant reduction in pigmentation and improved skin texture.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
IPL uses broad-spectrum light to treat superficial pigmented lesions, including birthmarks and moles. This non-invasive treatment is effective for lighter pigmentation, offers minimal downtime and is suitable for various skin types.
Plasma Pen
The Plasma Pen is ideal for removing smaller, superficial moles and skin tags with precision. This non-surgical method provides quick recovery and minimal scarring, making it suitable for delicate areas.

Are laser mole removal treatments safe?
Yes, our cosmetic mole removal treatments are safe and performed by highly qualified professionals. We use advanced laser technology and other methods to ensure effective results with minimal risk.

Recovery time varies depending on the treatment method used. Laser treatment generally has a short recovery period, while surgical excision may require a bit more time. Proper aftercare, including sun protection, is essential for optimal healing.
