Pigment-targeting laser and light treatments break down excess melanin, fading sun spots, age spots, and freckles for a more even, luminous complexion.
Laser pigment treatment uses wavelengths specifically absorbed by excess melanin to break apart age spots, sun spots, and freckles — without harming the surrounding skin. After treatment, the targeted spots will appear darker for a few days before naturally flaking off, revealing clearer, more even-toned skin underneath. The treatment is safe and effective on the face, hands, chest, and shoulders, and results are visible after just one or two sessions. With diligent sun protection, the results can last for years. Treatments take about 20 to 30 minutes and require little to no downtime, making them an easy addition to a routine skincare program.
Selective photothermolysis uses laser wavelengths specifically absorbed by melanin in pigmented lesions, heating and fragmenting the pigment without affecting surrounding skin. The body naturally clears the pigment over the following weeks, revealing clearer, more even-toned skin.
Most patients describe a brief snapping sensation as the laser targets each spot. The whole treatment takes only 20 to 30 minutes.
