Pigmented lesions stem from a variety of natural and environmental factors, such as sun damage, genetic makeup, and the aging process. They can also appear as side effects of certain medical treatments. Pigmented lesions can vary in size, shape, and frequency across different skin areas and include age spots, freckles, hyperpigmentation, actinic keratosis, pigment-related birthmarks, and pigmented nevi.
The treatment for pigmented lesions operates on the principle of selective photothermolysis. The correct wavelength of light zeroes in on pigment, transforming the light energy into heat that shatters pigment particles. Surrounding tissue remains undamaged. To maximize results, multiple sessions are usually required.
When targeting birthmarks, precise energy breaks up the pigment or vascular tissue so your body can naturally eliminate it. Treatment complexity can vary, depending on factors like your skin tone and birthmark size. While treating darker skin tones poses challenges, expert application using a high-quality device can yield positive results.
