Patient Reviews Our Patients' Results Request a Consultation Treatments and Risks Media Highlights What is a Birthmark, Why Does it Occur? A birthmark is a “splotch” on the skin and can be a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors. Some birthmarks are small and inconspicuous and may not ever be noticed by anyone. Other birthmarks may be large, unsightly and very conspicuous. They may also be located on areas of your body that cannot be covered up daily. Many patients come to the Center embarrassed by unsightly birthmarks on their face, neck, arms or hands. Conspicuous birthmarks may lower a person’s self-esteem and many would do anything to be rid of their birthmark. Treatments and Risks While some birthmarks do fade or completely disappear over time, there are others that do not fade and may even progress with age. Today laser treatments offer a safe and effective treatment option for a variety of different birthmarks. Paul M. Friedman, M.D. is one of the country’s most highly trained and gifted dermatologists.
