What are benign pigmented lesions?

Benign pigmented lesions are non-cancerous areas of increased pigment within the skin.

They may develop due to:

  • Sun exposure

  • Ageing

  • Genetics

  • Hormonal changes

  • Skin inflammation

Common examples include:

  • Sunspots

  • Age spots

  • Freckles

  • Solar lentigines

  • Flat benign pigmented lesions

Any suspicious, irregular or changing lesion should always be medically assessed before cosmetic treatment.

How does laser treatment work?

The Cutera laser delivers targeted light energy into excess melanin (pigment) within the lesion.

The pigment heats and breaks down into smaller particles which are gradually cleared by the body over time.

The treatment is designed to reduce unwanted pigmentation while helping minimise damage to surrounding skin.

FAQ

Can laser treatment completely remove pigmented lesions?

Many benign pigmented lesions can significantly fade or clear following treatment, although results vary depending on the depth and type of pigmentation.

Can pigmentation come back?

Treated pigment may clear permanently, although new pigmentation can develop over time due to sun exposure and ageing.

Is the treatment painful?

Most clients tolerate treatment well and describe it as quick snapping sensations with cooling for comfort.

Why does the pigment get darker after treatment?

Temporary darkening is a common response as the pigment rises to the surface before naturally shedding.

Is there downtime?

Downtime is minimal, and most clients return to normal activities shortly after treatment.
