Pigmented Lesions Removal

Sun spots, age spots and pigmented lesions are caused by the release of melanin, a key
component of our bodies defense against sun exposure. Lesions can be found on the
face, neck, hands, upper legs – areas most commonly exposed to sunlight. Most spots
may be treated for cosmetic reasons, however, unusual-looking lesions may need to be
surgically removed by a dermatologist.

Benefits
The Cynosure laser is FDA approved and can be adjusted to specific parameters to
lighten pigmented lesions.  Some benefits include:

• A healthier overall appearance of skin tone
• Minimal downtime
• Safe and effective
• Quick and tolerable

Areas to be treated
Lesions most commonly appear on the face, neck, chest or upper legs. These are areas
usually exposed to sunlight. Both men and women who have lighter skin tones tend to
have more visible lesions. Suspicious spots will need to be checked by a dermatologist
before any cosmetic laser procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions  
What does it feel like?
Although many patients report little or no discomfort, some may experience a mild
stinging sensation only when the laser pulse is delivered.  The cold tip on the hand piece
helps soothe the skin as the laser is delivered.

How long will the treatment take?
Treatment time should be 15 to 30 minutes but may vary depending on the number and
size of the area to be treated.

How does it work?
Laser treatments can safely and effectively reduce the appearance of lesions on any
area of the body. A highly focused beam of laser light is attracted to the dark pigment of
the lesion and within 4-6 weeks, the spots treated will slough off.

How many treatments does it take?
The skin under the surface will be lighter after just one treatment; however additional
treatments may be necessary to achieve the maximum results. It is imperative to use
sunscreen on areas treated because any sun exposure can cause the lesions to reappear.
