Hello,
Nevus of Ota is a blue-black birthmark commonly seen at birth or developing in the first few years of life.It shows good to excellent response using Ruby, Alexandrite or ND YAG lasers. Multiple treatments are required to eliminate the collections of pigment cells seen deep in the dermis.Hence I agree with your dermatologist that multiple sittings upto 6-7 months are required for complete clearance.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Warm regards.
