Pigmented & Brown Lesions

Intense light is emitted in a series of short pulses. The wavelength of the light is specially selected so that when it is directed into the skin, it is predominately absorbed by melanin contained within freckles or lentigines (sometimes called sun spots or liver spots). These pigmented lesions will absorb the light, which causes them to heat up. The heat created damages the lesion while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin. Following treatment, the damaged lesions turn darker and crust. Over the following 10-14 days they will gradually flake away from the skin leaving little trace of the original pigmented lesion.
