You should have done more research. There are other ways of helping it fade that are WAY safer and don\u2019t hurt,\u201d a third added.<\/p>\n<p>Brooke has since taken it upon herself to educate her followers on the necessity of the procedure for her young son.<\/p>\n<p>In a number of videos, she explained that the treatment was the only real option for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason we started so early with the laser is due to the fact it is a port-wine stain birthmark. Portwine stain birthmarks do not fade, they do not disappear. They darken over time, they can progress and become lumpy and cause health issues,\u201d she said in one TikTok that has racked up over 308,000 views.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed\/v2\/7104429690827459841\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500px\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe younger they are the better it is to start the laser because it is fresh on their skin and it is less stubborn. Over time it will become more stubborn and they will need more sessions in the future,\u201d Brooke continued.<\/p>\n<p>She went on to add that she wasn\u2019t treating her son for cosmetic reasons \u2013 she was doing it for the benefit of his health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he is the most beautiful boy in the whole entire world. I don\u2019t give a f*** if he has a birthmark on his face or not,\u201d she said, adding: \u201cIt p***** me off that people think this is purely for cosmetic purposes when it isn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A mom has been criticized on TikTok for removing a large birthmark on her baby\u2019s&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"views":36,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11574"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11574\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
