Pigmented Lesion Removal

Pigmented lesions develop due to an excess of melanin, the natural pigment found in the skin. Their appearance may be influenced by hormonal imbalances, long-term medication use, and exposure to direct sunlight. It is also observed that the number of pigmented lesions tends to increase with age. Pigmented lesions that appear on visible areas of the body may look aesthetically unappealing and cause discomfort. The most effective method for removing pigmented lesions is laser treatment. Proper preparation for the procedure is important.

It is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for up to 4 weeks before the procedure and approximately 6 weeks afterwards. For this reason, pigmented lesion removal is most often recommended during the colder months of the year.

During the Procedure

The procedure is usually painless; however, local anaesthesia may be used if necessary. Before the treatment, the physician selects the most suitable 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. In some cases, more than one treatment session may be required to achieve complete lightening of the pigmented lesion.

After the Procedure

Immediately after the procedure, the pigmented lesion will darken, which is a normal skin reaction. Within 3–7 days following the treatment, the pigmented area begins to flake and peel until it gradually blends with the natural skin tone. For up to 6 weeks after the procedure, avoid direct sun exposure, do not use tanning beds, and apply sunscreen regularly.
