What Do I Need to Know Pigmented Lesions?

Laser removal of pigmented lesions is an innovative way to quickly, safely and comfortably remove sun and age spots from virtually any part of the body. Both discrete spots and skin densely covered with freckles respond well to this treatment. The intense pulsed light delivered is selectively absorbed by the pigmented spots on your skin. The pigmented cells are heated and will darken immediately following the treatment. Over the course of the next one to three weeks, the darkened spots will flake off, leaving the skin with less pigment. Most patients find the majority of their treated spots have shown significant improvement within two and three weeks of treatment. However, your final result may not be apparent for a month or more. In most cases only one or two treatments are needed to achieve the desired result. There is minimal discomfort associated with this type of treatment and usually no anesthetic is needed.
