What is
Cafe-au-lait?
Cafe-au-lait spots are a light tan spot, the color of coffee with milk.
They may be a normal type of birthmark. The presence of several cafe-au-lait
spots larger than a quarter may occur in neurofibromatosis (a genetic
disorder that causes abnormal cell growth of nerve tissues).
Facial
birthmarks regress completely by age 1 or 2 years. Neck birthmarks may
persist for life, but they are generally covered by hair. No treatment is
required for this type of skin condition.
How Laser
Cafe-au-lait Removal works?
The Laser light energy,
IPL laser,
breaks up pigments in the skin. The broken pigment particles then
are "carried away" by the body, circulation and immune system.
