Birthmark removal is a cosmetic procedure that utilizes various techniques such as laser therapy, cryosurgery, or surgical excision to eliminate unwanted birthmarks from the skin. These marks, usually present at birth or developed early in life, can be benign but may cause emotional distress due to their appearance. The chosen method depends on the type, size, and location of the birthmark, aiming for minimal scarring and optimal results.

Birthmark removal in Canada is typically done using lasers or intense pulsed light (IPL) technology. These treatments target the pigment in the birthmark, breaking it down for natural elimination. Costs can vary depending on the size and location of the birthmark.
Canada's healthcare system may cover some costs for medically necessary procedures, but cosmetic treatments are usually not included. Waiting times for these procedures can range from 1 to 3 weeks.
