CAN A PIGMENTED LESION BE REMOVED IN ONE LASER TREATMENT SESSION?
There are certain lesions that can be treated in just one session, and these include the so-called liver or age spots, benign lentigo and freckles. However, for lesions with deeper lying pigment, multiple treatment sessions may be necessary e.g. pigmented birthmarks, such as café-au-lait spots.
HOW OFTEN ARE LASER TREATMENTS CARRIED OUT?
Laser treatments are usually scheduled at 6-week intervals, but often just one session is sufficient, depending on your individual response. IPL treatments may be repeated every 3-4 weeks for a course of 4 sessions.
WHAT ARE LASER TREATMENTS LIKE?
You may experience a warm, stinging sensation in the area treated during the procedure. The treatment usually takes between 15 to 30 minutes.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OF LASER TREATMENT FOR PIGMENTED LESIONS?
Immediately after treatment, the treated area becomes darker, crusts and peels off over 1 to 2 weeks, leaving a pinkish area of new skin lasting several more weeks. Significant fading can continue for up to 6 months after treatment in some cases.
