Vascular Birthmark Removal
Vascular birthmarks are caused by improperly formed blood vessels and often appear red, pink, or purple. While many are harmless, some individuals choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons or due to medical concerns.
At Cupid Lips®, we specialize in advanced laser and light therapies designed to safely and effectively reduce the appearance of vascular birthmarks, helping you achieve clearer, more even-toned skin.
Types of Vascular Birthmarks
Identifying the type of vascular birthmark is crucial for determining the most effective treatment:
- Port Wine Stains: Dark red or purple and can grow thicker or bumpier over time.
- Hemangiomas: Bright red, raised marks that can grow rapidly during the first months of life before gradually receding.
- Macular Stains: Mild red marks often found on the back of the neck or upper eyelids.
