Induced by sun damage accumulated over the years, they are well-defined, uniformly colored areas of brown or greyish pigment. They generally show up on the areas of the body that have had greater sun exposure. For example, the back of the hands, the face, neck and chest areas. Some people also develop more crust thickened pigmented areas these are seborrheic keratosis.
HOW IT WORKS:
Prior to any treatment your skin will be assessed. A management plan for the most appropriate treatment will be advise.
Fotona’s Starwalker is the ideal laser to effectively removing benign pigmented lesions. Its multi-wavelength, Q-Switched laser system is uniquely able to produce very short pulses of intense light that are selectively absorbed by treatment-specific pigments in a lesion. Due to its versatility it can treat both superficial and deeper lesions enabling it to break apart pigments only and not cells. This means that pigment destruction can take place without ablating the skin making it exceptionally safe
