Pigmented Lesions

Pigmented lesions or “age spots” are produced by melanocyte (pigment cells). These lesions occur after continuous aging, waning skin elasticity, and long-term sun exposure. Once the skin begins to thin, it promotes an increase in melanin, causing the development of age spots.

Pigmented lesions can involve one’s hands, shoulders, forehead, head (bald), arms, and face. The age spots can range from a mild brown to black.

What’s the Solution?

Signature Cosmetic Clinic provides an all-encompassing treatment using laser technology to target pigmented lesions. All procedures use high-quality light to go over spots and/or dark pigment clusters. This helps the area(s) to fade and freshen over time.

How Does Laser Treatment Improve Pigmentation?

Pigmented lesions encompasses a list of variables, and it’s important to understand how laser treatment can assist in improving one’s appearance.

Patients can use laser treatment to target the following concerns:

• Freckles
• Age spots (Pigmented Lesions)
• Sun Spots
• Scars
• Darker Patches
• Birthmarks (Brown)

Additional Pigmented lesions concerns can be mentioned during a patient’s consultation at the clinic. This helps paint a better picture of what’s expected and how the treatment will unfold.  

Ideal Candidate for Pigmented Lesions

Who is the ideal candidate for this laser treatment? Any individual with pigmented lesions or related skin concerns is a viable candidate. However, patients with metabolic conditions, lupus, diabetes, and/or skin cancers are asked to mention this beforehand to the consulting specialist. The consultation will entail a full assessment of one’s medical history, and mentioning all relevant details is vital.

To get started, patients are asked to call in and book an appointment to receive a detailed assessment on their skin and how it will be treated. The consultation will also include a reasonable quote. This is the start to your journey for unblemished, lesion-free skin.
