A pigmented lesion is a raised or flat spot on the skin which is brownish, blue-black or tan in color. It appears as a mole, freckle, sunspot, birthmark or aging spot.
Laser Mole removal involves releasing laser light energy to the targeted area where the mole is at. The Laser light energy is absorbed only by the pigment in the skin. The pigment is broken up and then "carried away" by the body and absorbed during the healing process.
Most aging spots, sunspots and flat moles can be removed with a few treatments. Repeat treatments may be required for certain birthmarks and moles (nevi) due to the depth of pigment. Most patients receive around three laser mole removal sessions.
Immediately after treatment, the area usually turns darker. This fades very quickly and the mole seems to "fall off" after 4-7 days. Makeup can be worn the same day and sunscreen is recommended for six weeks following treatment.
The IPL laser has been used successfully for many years. The risk of scarring is typically less than 1%.
Yes, (e.g. liquid nitrogen to freeze the mole, cautery to burn the mole, surgical mole removal, mole shaving) but none are as effective as laser mole removal and the risk of scarring is usually greater. In addition, they may not be feasible to diffuse extensive lesions (e.g. nevi and birthmarks).
There are many cosmetic benefits to laser mole removal including a smoother and cleaner appearance of your skin, no more worrying about cutting or bleeding of the mole during shaving or exercise and improved self esteem and self-confidence.
Charges are based upon the duration of time required for treatment and will depend on the number of pulses, treatments and the size of the area. Treatments start as low as $50 per mole per treatment.
Patient education is always important with regards to laser mole removal. ASPS certified physicians will always try to make sure patients have realistic expectations. The top five questions patients should ask are:
Yes, some people can use skin lighteners or bleaching agents to help eliminate or fade away moles. Of course, skin care creams are not recommend if your mole is suspicious in any way! Of all of the physician-strength skin care options, the one that we recommend the most is Natural Skin Lightener
Remember, hyperpigmentation can occur due to sun-damage, genetics, hormonal imbalances, pregnancies or medications. melanocytes (pigment cells) can become over stimulated and thus pigmentation increases. A Skin Lightener corrects bothersome unwanted areas of hyper pigmentation such as freckles, melasma, chloasma, senile lentigines and liver spots. Phytoquinone suppresses pigmentation in order to lighten the hyperpigmented areas. When using Phytoquinone, it is important to stay out of the sun for the treatment to work. Always wear full spectrum sun block and a hat and try to avoid sun exposure between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm.
