This is particularly the case when the birthmark is in a highly visible place. Coincidentally, tattoos can also be a source of great embarrassment. Something that at one time seemed like a good idea, now is clearly not an accurate representation of who you are and perhaps it is even hindering you from getting jobs.<\/p>\n<p>There are many reasons people chose to seek out treatment to have their birthmark or tattoo removed and these reasons are as valid and individualized as the marks themselves. Dr. Lyos understands the sensitivity of the procedure and would like to remind you that if you are considering having it done, whether you decide to come here or not, to only go to a trained physician.<\/p>\n<p>To see examples of Laser Skin treatments, feel free to check out our <a href=\"\/before-after-gallery-houston\/laser-procedures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo Gallery<\/a>.
