What is it?

Vascular birthmarks are skin markings caused by abnormal development of blood vessels under the skin. They are present at birth or appear shortly after and may look red, pink, purple, or bluish in color. Common types include salmon patches, port-wine stains, and hemangiomas. These birthmarks can vary in size and depth and may change in appearance as the child grows.

How it works

At Claire Derma, evaluation of vascular birthmarks focuses on identifying the type, depth, and behavior of the blood vessel involvement. The dermatologist examines the birthmark’s color, size, location, and growth pattern. Some vascular birthmarks fade on their own, while others may require monitoring or treatment based on cosmetic concerns, location, or associated symptoms.
