Hyperpigmentation, also known as brown spots or age spots, occurs when your skin produces excess melanin in response to sun exposure, hormonal shifts, or inflammation. In addition, family history can make you more prone to these pigmented lesions. Although age spots and hyperpigmentation are typically harmless, they can make you feel self-conscious, especially when they appear on visible areas such as the face, hands, arms, or décolleté.

Fortunately, the Elite+™ laser system at A² MediSpa offers a safe and effective solution for treating hyperpigmentation and pigmented lesions. Whether caused by sun damage, hormonal changes, or inflammation, the Elite+ laser can help reduce and remove these dark spots in just a few treatment sessions, restoring a more even skin tone and smoother complexion.

1. Preparation: Before starting, we will apply a cooling gel to the skin lesions to protect your skin from the laser’s heat. If you are having lesions removed from your face, we will provide safety goggles to ensure your eyes are protected during the procedure.

2. Laser Treatment: The Elite+ laser features a handpiece that we will use to make several passes over the affected area. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigmented lesions or vascular lesions, effectively targeting and breaking them down.

3. Sensation: Most patients describe the sensation of the laser as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Thanks to the Elite+ laser's built-in cooling system, the treatment is comfortable and your skin will not be overheated or damaged.

4. Treatment Duration: The length of your session will depend on the size of the treatment area. Most treatments last anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into your busy schedule.

With Elite+ laser technology, you can expect a safe, quick, and comfortable experience with minimal downtime.

1. Initial Results: Many patients see visible improvements after a single treatment. However, 3-5 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are generally recommended to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.

2. Pigmented Lesion Treatment: For pigmented lesions (such as age spots, freckles, or sun spots), the damaged skin cells are gradually broken down and absorbed by your body. You may notice mild peeling or sloughing of the skin, which is a natural process that helps remove the appearance of the lesion.

3. Skin Healing: Over time, the pigmented lesion will fade and completely disappear, leaving you with a clearer, more even skin tone. The results are long-lasting, with many patients experiencing a refreshed, rejuvenated complexion after completing their treatment series.

Yes, skin lesion removal with the Elite+ laser system is a safe and effective treatment option. The procedure is non-invasive, and the laser targets only the pigmented lesions or vascular lesions without causing harm to the surrounding skin. Here’s why laser treatments are a safe choice:

1. Precise Treatment: The Elite+ laser uses dual wavelengths to target and treat specific skin lesions such as age spots, cherry angiomas, and rosacea. The energy is absorbed by the lesions, leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed.

2. Built-In Cooling System: The Elite+ laser features an integrated cooling system that ensures your skin stays comfortable throughout the procedure. This minimizes the risk of irritation and helps protect your skin from overheating.

3. Experienced Professionals: At A² MediSpa, our certified technicians have extensive experience in laser skin treatments. We prioritize your safety and comfort while delivering effective results.

4. Minimal Downtime: Most patients experience little to no downtime after their treatment. Any mild redness or swelling typically subsides within a few hours, and you can resume normal activities soon after your session.
