Pigmented lesions are common and usually harmless. In fact, nearly all adults have at least a few of them on their skin. These skin spots and growths are caused by melanocyte cells in the skin. Melanocytes are the cells that produce melanin, the substance that gives color (pigment) to the skin.
At La Beau Te Med Spa, we have several laser solutions to remove your pigmented lesions.
Our lasers can treat the following types of pigmented lesions:
Hyper-pigmentation from sun exposure
Hyper-pigmentation from hormones (melasma or chloasma)
Hyper-pigmentation from injury (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation):
Abrasions or cuts
Over-exposure to heat
Hair waxing
Insect bites or itchy rashes
Acne
Improperly performed chemical peels
Lentigines – flat, brown spots on the skin that result from sun exposure
Keratoses – slightly elevated pigmented spots often found on the back and hands
Freckles – brownish spots on the skin that are common on people with fair skin
Dermatosis papulosis nigra – small, black marks seen primarily in people of Asian or African descent
