Pigmented Lesions

The laser is the most commonly used for removing brown age spots, "liver spots" and freckles. At your consultation we will identify your specific type of lesion and discuss the removal success rate associated with it.

Is the process painful?

The laser emits light in very short flashes called pulses. The impact of the energy from the powerful pulse of light is similar to the snap of a thin rubberband. After the treatment, the area will feel similar to a slight sunburn. Typically, within a day or so, any discomfort disappears. The area may remain reddened for one to three weeks. After the redness clears, the skin is returned to its natural smooth coloring and texture.

How many treatment sessions will it take to remove a pigmented lesion?

At least 50% of all common pigmented lesions are removed with one treatment. If a lesion covers a large area, if may be treated in several stages to avoid unnecessary comfort.
