Gangnam is well known for advanced pigment and vascular laser treatments performed under precise medical diagnosis. Birthmark Removal focuses on safely lightening or eliminating congenital skin marks while preserving healthy surrounding tissue and minimizing scarring.

1. What is Birthmark Removal?

Birthmark removal uses medical laser technology or minor dermatologic procedures to target abnormal pigmentation or blood vessels that form birthmarks. The treatment approach depends on the type, depth, and color of the birthmark.

• Pigmented Birthmarks:
  Includes café-au-lait spots, congenital nevi, and dermal pigmentation.
• Vascular Birthmarks:
  Includes port-wine stains and hemangiomas caused by dilated blood vessels.
• Customized Treatment Planning:
  Different birthmarks require different laser wavelengths and techniques.

2. Popular Treatments & Estimated Price Range

Prices are approximate per session in Gangnam and vary based on birthmark type, size, and treatment complexity.

• Q-Switched / Pico Laser: ₩150,000 – ₩600,000
  Benefit: Effective for pigmented birthmarks by breaking down melanin safely.
• Vascular Laser (PDL, Nd:YAG): ₩200,000 – ₩800,000
