Pigmented lesions include age spots, sun spots, freckles, lentigines, and melasma—basically, any patches where melanin is overproduced or unevenly deposited. They’re common with aging and sun exposure, but can be lightened through targeted treatments.

We use IPL (intense pulsed light) devices like BBL HEROic® and MOXI® and non-ablative lasers that emit light absorbed by melanin. This breaks pigment into tiny particles that your body naturally eliminates—without harming surrounding skin .

Many clients see noticeable improvements after just 1–2 sessions, though some pigmentation may need 3–5 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Treated spots often darken temporarily before flaking away and revealing clearer skin.

Most clients describe it as a warm snap or mild tingling—similar to a rubber band flick. We can apply cooling or numbing to keep you comfortable.

Expect minimal downtime. You may see mild redness, swelling, or darkening of pigmented spots that resolves within a few days. Makeup is allowed soon after, and you can resume normal routines—just protect your skin from sun exposure.

Yes—treated pigment is permanently removed because those melanin-containing cells can't regenerate. However, new spots can form with sun exposure, so consistent SPF and maintenance sessions help preserve results.

Side effects are rare when performed by skilled professionals. Some temporary darkening (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) or lightening can occur, especially for darker skin types. Settings and a patch test help reduce risk.

If you're bothered by age spots, sun damage, freckles, or melasma—and want a non-surgical way to restore skin radiance—you might be a great fit. Most healthy adults benefit, though darker skin tones need careful treatment and device selection.
