Laser treatment for pigmentation, age spots and melasma

Pigmented skin lesions include several different conditions, and not all are suitable for laser treatment; moles, for example, require specific medical assessment. An accurate diagnosis is therefore essential so that laser treatment is offered only when appropriate.

Laser treatment of a pigmented lesion works by targeting light energy at the pigment to break it into smaller particles. These particles are then gradually cleared by the body’s natural processes.
