Pigmented Lesions: 'Brown Spots' or 'Age Spots'

What is a Pigmented Lesion?

Pigmented lesions occur when an abundance of melanin is concentrated close to the surface of the skin. Melanin is the dark pigment present in the skin and is produced by melanocytes. Technically referred to as solar lentigines, we often refer to them as age spots.

Benefits of an IPL Treatment

When your pigmented lesion is treated with Intense Pulsed Light, the lesion will darken, sometimes within minutes and / or up to a few hours subsequent to treatment. Over a period of time (usually 8-10 days) the lesion will dry out and slough off. For darker pigmented areas, the lesion may simply fade on the first treatment and then require a subsequent treatment.

If your face is abundant with pigmentation, you will want a photofacial rejuvenation treatment. If you have specific spots, (sun spots), we treat by lesion.
