Pigmented lesions such as age spots or freckles can be successfully lightened or removed with Laser or Intense Pulsed Light. Birthmarks and other deeper, larger areas of pigmentation can be successfully treated. All of these treatments are non-invasive, suitable for both the face and body and will result in a more even skin tone.
Intense Pulsed Light systems release short pulses of filtered light that is readily absorbed by the high concentration of melanin found within freckles, sun spots, or liver spots. The rapid absorption of light energy heats the melanin and causes the destruction of the melanin-rich cells.
