| Laser Removal of Pigmented Skin Lesions Everyone has them: freckles, moles, "age spots", birthmarks, or brown spots. These pigmented skin lesions represent dense concentrations of melanin, the substance that gives our skin color. Some brown spots are present at birth, but most develop from overexposure to the sun or the natural aging process. Brown "age spots" are the earliest manifestation of "photo-aging" - sun induced aging of the skin. The Advanced Cosmetic Laser and Surgery Center has the most advanced state-of-the-art laser technology available to help reduce the appearance of unsightly pigmented skin lesions. Laser treatment is a safe, effective, gentle, no downtime solution for the elimination of unsightly brown spots. How do lasers remove unwanted pigment? Pigmented skin lesions are successfully treated using a specific wavelength of light that is selectively absorbed by dense concentrations of melanin in the skin. The surrounding normal skin is untouched by the laser, leaving no damage. The result is an evening out of skin tone and a dramatic reduction in the appearance of the brown spot. Laser removal of pigmented skin lesions is almost painless, leaves no wounds or blisters, and allows you to participate in your daily activities as soon as you walk out of the door. The Medlight™ Laser is most commonly used for laser removal of pigmented skin lesions such as "age spots", "liver spots", freckles, and some birthmarks. The Advanced Laser & Cosmetic Surgery Center has the most effective lasers available for the removal of different types of pigmented skin lesions. This woul dinclude the the KTP Laser, the Aura I laser, the Medilight laser, the Cynosure Apogee™ 9300 laser, teh Candela GentleLase Plus laser, and the Sciton Contour Erbium laser. |
