As we get older, some of the skin manifestations are irregular blotchy pigmentation spots, called solar lentigenes, on the face, arms, hands, shoulders, and chest.
Cosmetic lasers specifically targets this superficial pigment in the epidermis. By using a wavelength spectrum with strong melanin absorption and weak hemoglobin absorption, much lower fluence (power) is needed for effective treatment. Pulses are controlled by a closed-loop power control that regulates every pulse for consistent, safe results.
Typically one or two treatments are needed for optimum effect. Within one to three days a crust form and the lesion flakes off. Treatments take only a few minutes and are usually quite painless. The sensation of a mild brief pinching sensation is sometimes felt.
For long-term benefit, any treatment, of course, should always be combined with an effective sun-screen.
