Pigmented Lesion Removal
Pigmented lesions develop due to an excess of melanin, the pigment naturally present in the skin. Their appearance may be influenced by hormonal imbalances, long-term medication use, and direct sun exposure. Pigmented lesions also tend to become more common with age. When they appear on visible areas of the body, they may cause aesthetic concerns and discomfort. The most effective method for removing pigmented lesions is laser treatment.
Proper preparation is important before the procedure. It is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for up to 4 weeks before the treatment and for approximately 6 weeks afterward. For this reason, pigment removal procedures are most often recommended during the colder months of the year.
During the Procedure
The procedure is usually painless; however, local anesthesia may be used if necessary. Before treatment, the physician selects the most appropriate laser settings based on the type, size, location, and other characteristics of the pigmented lesion. After the procedure, a special cream is typically applied to soothe the treated skin. Depending on the lesion, a single session may not be sufficient to achieve complete lightening or removal.
After the Procedure
Immediately after treatment, the pigmented lesion may become darker, which is a normal skin reaction. Within 3-7 days, the treated area usually begins to flake and peel until it gradually blends with the surrounding natural skin tone. For up to 6 weeks after the procedure, avoid direct sun exposure, do not use tanning beds, and apply a high-protection sunscreen regularly.
To ensure effective treatment results, a dermatologist consultation is required (the consultation fee is added to the procedure cost).
