Birthmark (Nevus Ota)

Nevus of Ota (bluish-gray facial birthmark)

Nevus of Ota is a dermal melanocytosis that appears as a bluish-gray patch, typically on the forehead, temples, around the eyes, or cheek. It is more common in Asian skin tones and is present from birth or early life.

How Picostar effectively treats nevus of Ota

  • The erasure uses the gold-standard 1064 nm nd:yag picosecond wavelength of the Picostar laser — the safest and most effective choice for deeper dermal pigment.
  • Powerful yet ultra-short pulses selectively shatter dermal melanin particles
  • Adjustable spot sizes and energy levels allow precise treatment of delicate facial areas
  • Progressive fading over a series of comfortable sessions (usually 4–8 treatments spaced 6–8 weeks apart)
  • Only topical numbing required — minimal sensation and quick recovery
  • Temporary redness resolves quickly; no scarring

With each session, the blue-gray coloration lightens dramatically, blending seamlessly with surrounding skin for excellent cosmetic outcomes.
