Pigmented Lesions

Pigmented Lesion Removal

Freckles. Sun spots. Age spots. All of these are examples of pigmented lesions. Some pigmented lesions may be due to heredity, while others are due to sun damage from the constant bombardment of harmful UV rays. While typically not dangerous, these lesions may leave you feeling old or unattractive. Our IPL treatments can be used to remove these blemishes and give your skin the appearance that you desire!

The short pulses of light from our IPL machine are absorbed by the melanin in your lesion, causing a superficial burn, which your body interprets as damage. This causes your body’s natural healing process to start, producing new, healthy looking skin to form underneath!

Most people are suitable for treatment. Large (over 10mm), dark, mottled, or raised pigmentation cannot be treated and should be referred to a doctor for evaluation. Large, dark moles or other large areas of pigmentation should also not be treated.

Our Intense Pulsed Light Machine can be used for the removal of pigments lesions. Pigmented lesions typically manifest as age spots, sun spots, and/or freckles. As opposed to tattoo removal, where the laser is attracted to the pigment in the ink, the laser is attracted to the melanin in your skin, specifically the lesion that you want removed.
