Café-au-lait birthmarks (light brown spots)

Café-au-lait macules are flat, light-brown pigmented spots caused by localized overproduction of melanin. They are present at birth or appear in early childhood and can occur anywhere on the body.

How Picostar lightens café-au-lait birthmarks

At the erasure, our technicians use the advanced Picostar picosecond laser with pressure wave-tuned technology to safely and effectively lighten these birthmarks — even on all skin types.

  • Ultra-short picosecond pulses deliver a precise photomechanical shockwave that shatters excess melanin without heat damage to surrounding skin
  • Customizable settings match the exact size, depth, and darkness of each lesion
  • Over a series of quick sessions, treated areas darken slightly, form a fine crust, and flake away — revealing lighter, more even-toned skin
  • Minimal discomfort — cooled air, topical numbing, or cryotherapy ensures comfort
  • Brief treatments with no downtime and zero risk of scarring

Most patients see noticeable lightening after 3–6 sessions, with continued improvement over time.

Our patients love the natural, long-lasting results and the boost in confidence that comes with smoother, more uniform skin.

Thanks to Picostar’s unmatched precision and depth-reaching technology, our patients finally achieve the clear, even facial tone they’ve always wanted — and the renewed confidence that comes with it.
