What Are Pigmented Lesions?
Pigmented lesions are areas of skin discoloration caused by excess melanin. Common examples include:
- Sun spots (lentigines)
- Age spots
- Freckles
- Certain types of birthmarks
While most pigmented lesions are benign, they can be a cosmetic concern for many individuals.
How Does Spectrum Laser Pigmented Lesion Removal Work?
The Spectrum Laser is a versatile, multi-platform device equipped with both Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and laser modalities specifically designed to treat pigmented lesions. The system uses targeted light energy to break down excess pigment in the skin without harming surrounding tissue.
Key Features of Spectrum Laser Treatment:
- Precision: The laser targets only the unwanted pigment, leaving healthy skin untouched.
- Versatility: Effective for a wide range of pigmented lesions on the face, hands, chest, and other areas.
- Gentle and Non-Invasive: Most patients experience minimal discomfort and minimal downtime.
- Multiple Modalities: The Spectrum combines IPL for superficial pigmentation and Q-Switched YAG or Erbium YAG lasers for deeper or more stubborn lesions.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Consultation: Your board-certified dermatologist will assess your skin and determine the best treatment plan for your specific type of lesion.
- Treatment Session: The area is cleansed, and protective eyewear is provided. The Spectrum Laser handpiece is then applied to the skin, delivering precise pulses of light to the pigmented area.
- Sensation: Patients typically report a mild, prickly heat or snapping sensation, which is very tolerable.
- Duration: Sessions usually take 15–30 minutes, depending on the size and number of lesions being treated.
- Recovery: There may be some redness and mild swelling immediately after treatment, which typically resolves within a few days. The treated pigment will darken and flake off over 7–10 days as your skin heals.
