Pigment Spot Removal

A treatment to fade or remove unwanted pigmented spots such as sun spots, age spots and freckles. Light or laser energy is absorbed by the excess melanin in the spot, breaking it up so the body can clear it and the mark fades over the following weeks. At Amaryllis Beauty Institut a thorough assessment is carried out first, since accurate diagnosis of any pigmented lesion is important before treatment.

Pigment-spot removal targets areas of excess melanin in the skin — including sun (solar) spots, age spots (lentigines) and some freckles — using light or laser energy. The energy is selectively absorbed by the concentrated pigment in the spot, heating and fragmenting it while sparing the surrounding lighter skin. The fragmented pigment is then either shed as the surface skin renews or cleared away by the body, so the spot darkens briefly and then progressively fades over the weeks after treatment. Superficial spots often respond well, while deeper or larger areas may need more than one session. At Amaryllis Beauty Institut in Cheb the treatment begins with a careful assessment of the pigmented areas, because it is important to distinguish harmless sun damage from lesions that need medical evaluation before any cosmetic treatment. Suitable spots are then treated with targeted energy; protective eyewear is worn and you may feel a quick snapping sensation as each spot is treated. Afterwards the treated spots typically darken, may crust lightly and then flake away over one to two weeks as the skin renews — it is important not to pick at them and to protect the area diligently from the sun, since ultraviolet exposure can trigger new pigmentation and undermine the result. Depending on the number and depth of spots, one or several sessions may be needed. The clinic reviews your skin and suitability at consultation.
