Pigment Lesion Removal
Just about everyone has a few obvious brown spots on their skin. Freckles, age spots, liver spots, and various birthmarks are jut a few of the commonly known marks, generally referred to as pigmented lesions. Although most brow spots are easily ignored many are quite conspicuous and can detract from your skin's natural beauty. Melanin is what gives our skin its color. Dark or light complexioned, we all have varying amounts of melanin. Pigmented lesions are dark in color simply because melanin is abnormally concentrated in one area of the skin. High concentrations of melanin can be due to various factors. Some types are present at birth, but most occur with age or as a result of overexposure to the sun's damaging rays. Pigmented lesions can be successfully lightened or removed with modern laser technology. A laser removes pigmented lesions with the energy of light.
