Pigmented Lesions

The Science of Flaw Correction

Perfect skin just isn’t a reality for most of us, but for those of us who were either born with imperfections or developed them later in life, even having normal skin might seem like an unattainable dream. While we can’t work miracles, our MagnifaSkin clinicians can greatly reduce, or sometimes even completely erase the appearance of these flaws. Contact us today for a free consultation and take the first step to having the appearance you deserve.

Pigmented Lesions Treatment

Pigmented lesions are brown spots or patches of skin which can appear anywhere on the body. Examples include freckles, moles, age or liver spots, café-au-lait spots and sunspots. While they may be birthmarks, these lesions often develop as we age. They are the result of excessive production of melanin in our skin, the same naturally occurring chemical responsible for tanning our skin as a protective reaction to sunlight. In the case of pigmented lesions, the body’s natural melanin production has run amok, producing these harmless but sometimes unsightly pigmented areas.

While the vast majority of pigmented lesions are harmless, in some rare cases they may be cancerous. If you’ve developed an isolated lesion your first step should always be to see your doctor. In all other cases, MagnifaSkin MedSpa can help.

The darker skin of the lesion absorbs more light than the surrounding ‘normal’ tissue. This means that laser treatments will more strongly affect the darkened tissues, causing the body to respond to the treatment by healing those areas with new, lighter colored skin. Multiple Non-Ablative treatments can sometimes completely erase pigmented lesions, and in almost all cases, greatly reduce their appearance.

Pigmented Lesions Treatment with the Aerolase LightPod Neo

All laser treatments at MagnifaSkin MedSpa are delivered with the revolutionary new Aerolase® LightPod Neo® medical laser. Delivering light pulses 30 – 50 times faster than other lasers, the Neo provides virtually pain free treatment. In fact many patients report feeling nothing at all other than a slight warming sensation. Other lasers, which deliver higher energy pulses of light at much longer intervals, result in the sensation of having a rubber band snapped against your skin. This is due to the large amount of energy being delivered with each pulse. Because the Neo reduces the amount of energy delivered with each pulse while greatly increasing the number of pulses, energy delivery is ‘smoothed out’, resulting in little or no sensation for your sensitive skin.
