Bellingham Birthmark Removal

At Artistry Medical Aesthetics, we provide targeted birthmark removal using the advanced Stellar M22 IPL system. This gentle, noninvasive technology can safely fade certain types of pigmented birthmarks by breaking down excess pigment beneath the skin’s surface. Our goal is to help you achieve more even toned skin while keeping your results looking natural.

Each treatment plan is customized to your skin type and the specific characteristics of your birthmark, ensuring safe, effective care.

Understanding Pigmented Birthmarks

Birthmarks are areas of skin that appear darker or differently colored from the surrounding tissue. Some pigmented birthmarks contain excess melanin and may appear light brown, dark brown, or slightly reddish. Common types that can respond well to IPL include:

  • Café-au-lait spots
  • Light brown flat birthmarks
  • Some types of pigment based patches
  • Certain benign discolorations present since birth

While birthmarks are usually harmless, many people choose treatment if the pigmentation affects confidence, causes uneven tone, or feels distracting in photos.

How IPL Helps Reduce Pigmented Birthmarks

The Stellar M22 IPL handpiece uses precise pulses of light to target excess melanin within the birthmark. This controlled light energy breaks apart pigment clusters so that the body can gradually clear them away over time. Surrounding skin is left unharmed, making this a safe option for suitable birthmark types.

Patients often notice:

  • Gradual fading of the birthmark
  • A more even and uniform skin tone
  • Minimal downtime during the process
  • Natural looking improvement over several weeks

Some birthmarks may require multiple sessions for the best results, and not all birthmark types are suitable for IPL treatment. A consultation allows us to evaluate your skin and determine whether this approach is right for you.

Preparation and Treatment Plan:

  • Pre-treatment with skincare recommended for optimal correction in treatment series. Please call Kelly with any questions at (360) 812-5835

  • Schedule a chemical peel 2–3 weeks prior for enhanced effectiveness

  • Plan 2–4 days of recovery time before and after treatment
  • Limit sun exposure and use SPF on the treated area for 4–6 weeks prior.

  • No self-tanners, spray tans, or tanning beds for 4–6 weeks prior. Your skin must return to its natural color prior to treatment.

  • Discuss any skin condition or photosensitive medications or topicals you may use with me. Here’s a list of some medications you may need to discontinue before treatment. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out prior to this appointment to discuss by calling Kelly at (360) 812-5835

While treatment can control hyperpigmentation, it cannot completely prevent future melasma since hormonal changes often play a role.

Birthmark Removal Pricing

Birthmark fading happens gradually as pigment breaks down across multiple sessions, which is why we offer package pricing that includes all 3 recommended treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Because each session builds on the last, this series-based approach helps you achieve the best and most natural-looking improvement over time.

All pricing below includes a complete series of 3 birthmark removal treatments, paid in full at your first visit.

Why Choose Stellar M22 Laser Technology

The Stellar M22 allows us to perform both laser skin resurfacing and non-ablative laser treatments. By treating the outer layer of skin and stimulating the deeper layers of the skin, this technology supports the growth of new skin and healthy tissue. Patients see reduced pore size, smoother texture, and overall outstanding results.

At Artistry Medical Aesthetics, our med spa treatments are ideal for people who want effective solutions for skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. 

Many patients also pair their laser sessions with injectable treatments or other cosmetic enhancements for even more radiant results.

What to Expect

Every appointment at Artistry Medical Aesthetics begins with a personal consultation. We carefully review your medical history, assess your skin type, and design a plan tailored to your specific needs. Because our treatments are safe and require minimal downtime, most patients return to their daily routines quickly.

Our focus is always on healthy tissue, own skin’s healing process, and results that look natural. By combining cosmetic dermatology expertise with evidence-based practices, we aim to deliver exceptional experiences and results that last.
