Pigmented Lesions
Targeted correction for sun spots and hyperpigmentation
Overview
Pigmented lesions — including sun spots, age spots, freckles, café-au-lait spots, and melasma — can be safely and effectively treated with advanced laser technology at Kassir Dermatology. Dr. Kassir uses Q-switched lasers and IPL systems to selectively target and break up excess melanin without damaging surrounding tissue.
How It Works
Q-switched lasers emit ultra-short pulses of energy that are selectively absorbed by melanin in pigmented lesions. The rapid energy absorption shatters the pigment into tiny particles, which are then cleared by the body's immune system over the following weeks. Treatment is precise and leaves surrounding skin unaffected.
Am I a Candidate?
Most patients with benign pigmented lesions are good candidates. A thorough evaluation by Dr. Kassir is essential to confirm the lesion is benign and to select the appropriate treatment modality.
What to Expect
Treated lesions typically darken initially before gradually fading over 2–4 weeks. Most lesions clear significantly with 1–3 treatments. Strict sun protection is required before and after treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can all pigmented lesions be treated?
Most benign pigmented lesions respond well to laser treatment. A thorough evaluation is necessary to confirm the nature of the lesion before treatment.
Will the spots come back?
Treated lesions typically do not return if proper sun protection is maintained. New spots can develop with ongoing sun exposure.
