What are pigmented lesions?
Pigmented lesions occur when an abundance of melanin is concentrated close to the surface of the skin. Melanin is the dark pigment present in the skin and is produced by melanocytes. Technically referred to as solar lentigines, we often refer to them as age spots. Nothing makes you feel better than seeing your freckles, sun spots, skin discoloration and age spots disappear leaving a fresher and younger looking you!
Pigmented lesion removal provides the most benefit to those with superficial benign pigmented lesions. Pigmented Lesions (also referred to as age spots, sun spots and liver spots) can be easily removed with 1-2 treatments.
