Nevus of Ota is a cutaneous melanocytosis that causes brown-blue discoloration of the eye and the area around it. Laser therapy is the recommended course of treatment for Nevus of Ota. Beginning treatment at any age is possible, including when a child is still very young.

Our medical professionals care for patients of all ages, including newborns, toddlers, and preschoolers. Often, IPAL provides treatment for pediatric kids suffering from this illness. The kind of laser used on a patient depends on the kind of skin that patient has because we personalize treatment for each patient. Therapies can be carried out with either topical or local anesthetic, or in rare instances, with neither type of anesthesia. In most cases, more than one treatment will be necessary.
