Birthmark in Hongdae – Clear Skin & Boost Your Confidence
Bothered by a visible birthmark on your face or body? Whether it’s a pigmented spot, vascular mark, or large discoloration, birthmarks can affect self-confidence—especially when located in highly visible areas. At our clinic in Hongdae, we offer advanced birthmark removal treatments using medical-grade lasers and personalized care to safely reduce or eliminate unwanted marks with minimal discomfort and downtime.
What Are Birthmarks?
Birthmarks are skin irregularities that appear at or shortly after birth. They vary in size, color, and depth, and can be categorized into two main types:
- Pigmented Birthmarks: Caused by excess melanin (e.g., café-au-lait spots, congenital melanocytic nevi, Mongolian spots)
- Vascular Birthmarks: Caused by abnormal blood vessels (e.g., port-wine stains, hemangiomas, salmon patches)
Some birthmarks may fade over time, while others become more prominent or permanent without treatment.

Birthmark Removal Treatments Offered
Our Hongdae clinic provides the latest in laser and dermatological technology for safe, effective treatment:
- Q-Switched Laser
Targets pigmented birthmarks by breaking down melanin particles with minimal damage to surrounding skin. - Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) / Vbeam
Ideal for vascular birthmarks like port-wine stains and hemangiomas—reduces redness and visible capillaries. - Pico Laser
High-speed, low-downtime option for removing stubborn pigmentation with better skin recovery and reduced risk of scarring. - CO2 Laser
Used for raised or textured birthmarks; resurfaces the skin and promotes regeneration. - Topical Lightening Agents
May be recommended as part of post-laser care or for very mild pigmentation.
What to Expect During Treatment
Most sessions take 15–45 minutes, depending on the size and depth of the birthmark. Topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort.
Post-treatment effects can include redness, mild swelling, or temporary darkening of the treated area. These typically subside within a few days. Sun protection and proper skincare are essential for recovery.
Multiple sessions (usually 3–6, spaced 4–6 weeks apart) are often needed for full results.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate if:
- You have a pigmented or vascular birthmark that affects your confidence or appearance
- You are in good general health with no active skin infections
- You want a non-surgical approach to skin correction
- You have realistic expectations regarding the number of sessions and results
Our team will assess the type, depth, and color of your birthmark to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
Are the Results Permanent?
Yes—most laser treatments offer long-lasting or permanent results, especially for pigmented birthmarks. However, some vascular lesions may require maintenance or touch-up sessions over time.
