The Science
Behind Us

Birthmarks, often a topic of curiosity and intrigue, have their origins rooted in the complex workings of human biology. These unique skin markings can emerge shortly after birth or develop over time, showcasing a diverse array of colors, shapes, and sizes. While the exact mechanisms behind birthmark formation are not fully elucidated, they are believed to arise from a variety of factors, including abnormalities in blood vessels, melanocytes (cells responsible for pigment production), smooth muscle, fat, fibroblasts, or keratinocytes (the predominant cells in the skin). These aberrations in cellular development and pigmentation give rise to the distinctive birthmarks that adorn our skin, each telling its own story of biological happenstance.
