Pigmentation Treatment
Manage age spots, freckles and birthmarks at Sculpted Clinic
Pigmented lesions on the skin are common and typically harmless. Most adults have them, however it is important to monitor them closely.
What are pigmented lesions?
Pigmented lesions are skin spots and growths caused by melanocyte cells in the skin. These cells produce melanin, which gives pigment to the skin. Common pigmented lesions include age spots, freckles, birthmarks and moles. Many people are born with pigmented lesions, while others develop them over time due to exposure to the sun or the natural process of ageing and changing hormones.
What can be done to treat pigmented lesions?
While not all pigmented lesions are cancerous or precancerous, they are often bothersome or unsightly. Luckily, there are laser treatments available to quickly remove pigmented lesions, such as age spots, freckles and birthmarks. Introducing the Sciton BBL Laser, the ‘Rolls Royce’ of cosmetic lasers. BBL lasers utilise the power of Intense Pulse Light (IPL) to treat sun and age spots, as well as other pigmented lesions. BBL skin pigmentation removal works to minimise the appearance of lesions, altering the overall appearance of the skin.
How Do You Treat Skin Pigmentation
How does the procedure work?
BBL will deposit pulses of light energy that gently heats up the upper layers of the skin. The heat absorbed by the targeted areas, for example those pigmented lesions, will stimulate your skin cells to regenerate new collagen. This will result in a significant restoration in skin complexion and colouring. In addition, this procedure works to destroy the target, eliminating it from the skin and in turn restoring the skin to its natural state. This will leave the skin looking smoother and vibrant in appearance and touch. BBL treatments for pigmented lesions are simple, quick, pain-free and require no downtime. Treatment sessions last between 20-30 minutes.
What can I expect following BBL laser treatments?
Immediately after treatment, you may experience some mild redness and the feeling of a slight sunburn in the treated area. This should resolve within a few hours, however in some cases may last a day or two. You will start to notice healthier looking skin within a few days following treatment and the targeted pigmented lesions will darken and gradually fade within one to two weeks. Our friendly clinic staff will share with you all details during your consultation and before/after the treatment.
