Pigmented Lesions

A pigmented lesion is excess melanin in skin cells that appear as darker areas.

Examples of pigmented lesions include:

• Freckles
• Moles
• Sun spots
• Age spots
• Birthmarks

Some individuals are born with a pigmented lesion, while others develop them over time from sun exposure or as a result of changing hormones and aging.

We recommend that all pigmented lesions be cleared by a medical professional before starting treatment. Most pigmented lesions are benign; however, some are melanomas.

Laser treatments are highly effective for removing pigmented lesions. We recommend laser treatments coupled with a tailored home care regimen.
