Pigmented Lesion Removal
Target stubborn or deep pigmentation — freckles, sun spots, age spots, and melasma patches that IPL alone can't fully treat.
Deep Pigment Correction
Pigmented lesion removal uses highly focused laser energy that is selectively absorbed by excess melanin in the skin. The laser shatters concentrated pigment deposits that sit too deep or too densely for IPL or topical treatments to effectively reach.
This targeted approach means the laser addresses only the pigmented area while preserving surrounding healthy skin. The treated pigment rises to the surface over 5–10 days, darkens briefly, and then flakes away — revealing clearer, more even-toned skin beneath.
Every pigmented lesion is carefully evaluated before treatment to determine whether it is appropriate for cosmetic laser or light-based treatment and to select the safest and most effective treatment settings for your skin type and pigmentation concern.
Lesion Assessment
Each pigmented area is evaluated for type, depth, and suitability. Selection includes optimal parameters for safe, effective removal.
Targeted Treatment
Precise laser pulses target the pigment deposit. The energy shatters melanin clusters while surrounding skin stays protected.
Progressive Pigment Clearance
Following treatment, treated pigmentation may temporarily darken before gradually fading, flaking, or shedding as the skin naturally renews itself over time.
What Pigmented Lesion Removal Treats
Stubborn Spots, Expert Hands
If IPL or topical treatments haven't fully cleared your pigmentation, you likely need a more targeted approach. Laser pigment removal goes deeper and is more precise — but it also requires more expertise.
Understanding the difference between a sun spot that will clear in one session and a melasma patch that requires a multi-step approach. You get the right treatment for your specific pigmentation.
Lesion-Specific Settings
Wavelength and energy calibrated for your pigment type — not a generic setting applied to every spot.
Honest Assessment
Some pigmentation responds better to combination approaches. The most effective path is recommended, not just a single treatment.
Post-Treatment Guidance
Proper aftercare and sun protection are critical for preventing recurrence. A complete post-treatment plan is provided.
Pigmented Lesion Removal FAQ
Laser pigment removal uses a specific wavelength focused on the exact lesion — it's more powerful and more precise, making it effective for deeper or more stubborn pigmentation that IPL can't fully treat.
The spot will darken over the first few days (this is normal — it means the laser reached the pigment). Over the following 1–2 weeks, the darkened pigment will flake off naturally, revealing clearer skin beneath.
The spot will darken over the first few days (this is normal — it means the laser reached the pigment). Over 5–10 days, the darkened area rises to the surface and flakes off, revealing clearer skin beneath.
Many sun spots and age spots clear significantly in one session. Deeper or more resistant pigmentation may require 2–3 treatments. You'll receive a realistic timeline at your consultation.
Melasma is more complex than typical sun spots and often requires a comprehensive approach combining laser treatment with topical products and strict sun protection. See our dedicated Melasma Treatment page for details.
