What Is Brown Spot and Lesion Removal?
Brown spot and lesion removal is a cosmetic procedure used to treat different types of skin discolorations, such as brown spots, dark spots, age spots, sun spots, and dark patches. These forms of hyperpigmentation often result from sun damage, aging, or hormonal changes. At Cosmedica Dermatology in Washington, D.C., our team uses a collaborative approach to assess each individual's skin and recommend the most suitable treatment options. Whether you are dealing with hyperpigmentation or a specific lesion on the skin, these treatments can help you achieve a more even skin tone.
How Does Brown Spot and Lesion Removal Work?
Lesion removal, particularly for brown spots, hyperpigmentation, and dark patches, can be done using advanced laser therapy with the Wontech Majesty Picosecond Laser. This picosecond laser treatment uses very short, high-energy pulses that specifically target the melanin in dark spots without affecting the surrounding skin. The energy breaks down the pigmentation into smaller particles, allowing the body to naturally clear them away, which gradually reduces the visibility of age spots, sun spots, and other forms of discoloration. This laser therapy is suitable for people with darker skin tones, as it carries a lower risk of triggering further pigmentation issues.
