Treatments For Pigmented Lesions

Laser Treatment
Pigmentation issues such as sun spots, age spots, and redness are common skin concerns that can vary in size, shape, and depth. These conditions are primarily cosmetic, affecting both facial and body areas, and can be effectively treated with minimal downtime, regardless of skin type. Pigmented lesions are often caused by sun exposure, aging, or genetic factors and can range from flat to raised. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) with OPT™ technology, considered the 'Gold Standard' in photorejuvenation, targets melanin to treat these lesions and improve skin uniformity. We use the most advanced technology with the Lumenis Stellar M22, a pioneer in aesthetic medicine, which developed the first IPL technology and Photorejuvenation platform, establishing itself as a leader in the field.

Why Treatments For Pigmented Lesions

A fast, yet gentle treatment that visibly improves:

Broken capillaries
Pigmentation
Age/sun spots
Overall skin appearance

What is it?

The Stellar M22™ Photorejuvenation treatment allows your physician to deliver impressive results for a variety of skin concerns, including age spots, sun damage, freckles, birthmarks, rosacea, and broken capillaries. Using advanced IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology, it gently and efficiently targets and eliminates spots, discoloration, and unwanted blood vessels.

How does it work?

Photorejuvenation technology The IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology allows treatment of pigmentation and vascular imperfections, while improving overall skin appearance. Stellar M22™ IPL with Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT™) enables your clinician to customize the treatment according to your skin type and desired results, with maximum safety. Light pulses penetrate the tissue and create heat, targeting the skin imperfection in a controlled manner. The body’s natural process then removes the treated tissue, while collagen and elastic fiber stimulation occurs, resulting in a visible improvement in skin tone and overall appearance.

What should I get this treatment for?

The Stellar IPL Laser is highly effective in treating a range of skin concerns, including:

  • Sun Damage and Freckles: The light energy works to break down pigmentation caused by sun exposure.
  • Rosacea and Redness: It helps reduce the redness commonly associated with conditions like rosacea.
  • Age Spots: Targets and lightens dark spots on the skin, giving it a more even tone.
  • Spider Veins: The IPL energy can shrink broken or damaged capillaries, reducing their appearance.
  • Fine Lines: While its primary function isn't wrinkle treatment, Stellar IPL can help reduce the appearance of fine lines by stimulating collagen production.

What should I expect?

The treatment

To maximize comfort during your treatment, your physician will usually apply a topical numbing cream beforehand and may also use air cooling throughout the procedure. Depending on the specific concern being treated, the session typically lasts approx 30 minutes. You may feel a warm or prickling sensation as the laser is applied to your skin, but the treatment is gentle and should not cause significant discomfort.

When will I see results?

The Stellar M22™ Photorejuvenation treatment works with your skin to remove your imperfections. Some skin concerns such as shallow pigmentation and age/sun spots can be cleared with as few as 1-2 treatments. Typically 2-6 sessions with 2-4 weeks in between are needed to achieve optimal results for most skin concerns.

What can I expect after treatment?

After the treatment, you may notice some redness, which varies based on your customized settings. This usually fades within a few hours. In most cases, you can apply makeup right away and resume your daily activities the same day. However, your physician will likely recommend avoiding direct sun exposure for a few weeks and using sunscreen regularly.

Each session typically lasts between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on your specific concern. You may feel a warm or tingling sensation as the laser is applied, but the treatment is gentle and should not cause significant discomfort.

Is it right for me?

Stellar M22™ treatments are not suitable for everyone and may carry some risks. Photorejuvenation is not suitable when you have active infections, viral, fungal or bacterial diseases, inflammatory skin conditions or skin cancer. Risks may include: redness, swelling, scarring or a change of pigmentation. Be sure to consult with your treatment provider before choosing this treatment.

Aftercare Advice

Following proper aftercare is essential to enhance the results of your treatment and minimize potential side effects.

  • Sun Protection: Stay out of direct sunlight and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day. This helps protect your skin from further damage and prevents pigmentation changes.
  • Gentle Skincare: Use mild, non-comedogenic products to avoid irritation. Refrain from using exfoliating agents or retinoids right after your treatment.
  • Hydration: Keep your skin moisturized with suitable products to support healing and maintain hydration.
  • Avoid Heat: For the first few days, avoid heat sources like hot showers and saunas to prevent irritation and support your skin’s recovery.
