Skin Lesions

Sunlight, environmental factors and the natural passage of time all contribute to the development of dark spots, skin pigmentation and freckles. Your face, hands and chest are the first parts of the body to show signs of ageing because they receive so much sun exposure. Age spots, skin pigmentation and freckles are forms of pigmented lesions. They are caused by excess production of melanin in the skin by cells called melanocytes.

Skin Pigmented Lesions Laser Therapy

Lasers devices have been used with great success to remove pigmented areas on the skin. Using the Q-switched ND YAG laser technology, charged energy light is selectively emitted and absorbed by the pigmented areas, sparing the normal surrounding skin. Skin pigmentation are spots that usually occur in sun exposed areas on the body. Skin pigmentation is also known as age and/or liver spots. The increased pigmentation of age spots is brought on by ageing, over exposure to the sun or other forms of ultraviolet lights. Skin pigmentation can also occur in pregnant women due to the dramatic hormonal change the body goes undergoes. In some cases, skin pigmentation in pregnant women disappears after child birth. Alternatively, it can have the reverse effect and worsen.
The advantages of this technology include the fact that the pigment is able to be targeted precisely without damaging the surrounding tissue. Skin pigmentation in the face, neck, chest and hands can be treated safely and effectively. The added benefit of the Q-switched ND YAG Laser technology is that is also works to activate cells in the skin called fibroblasts which stimulate collagen remodeling and new collagen production. Effectively, this helps to rejuvenate the skin, improving its texture, visibly minimizing pores and reducing superficial fine lines and wrinkles to reveal a more youthfully hydrated appearance.

Laser scar removal is one of the most common and most effective dermatologic procedures performed at Q Esthetics Laser Clinic. A scar is a disfiguring mark left on the skin by the healing of injured tissue. Scars may develop from infections, surgeries, injuries, or diseases. They usually form within the first couple of months after surgery or trauma, and can appear on any part of the body. The look and severity of scarring depends on many factors, including the size, direction and depth of the wound, the blood supply to the area, and the thickness and color of the patient’s skin. Most frequently, common types of scars include: acne scar, surgical scar, burn scar, injury scar, keloid scar, etc. Proper scar differentiation is critical to ensure that the most effective scar treatment is chosen. Surgical scar removal procedures are painful and invasive and have a risk for complications. Laser scar removal from Palomar® offers a noninvasive solution that uses fractional laser technology to deliver rapid, reliable scar removal with less risk, less pain and minimal downtime.
