Dr. Jason Bloom answered

Specializes in Facial Plastic Surgery

Laser is best: Think of a nevus of ota as a tattoo. Laser, specifically the ones we use for tattoo removal, are the most efficient and safe way, when in the right hands to remove the pigment from the lesion without damaging or scarring the skin. See an experienced laser expert for a consultation.
