Laser Pigmented Lesions Removal
The SP Dynamis laser system is a cutting-edge solution for treating pigmented lesions and achieving flawless skin with advanced laser technology. It combines the power of dual-wavelength lasers for highly effective and customizable treatments. The Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) penetrates deep into the skin to target melanin, breaking down pigmentation into microparticles that the body naturally clears, making it perfect for addressing melasma, hyperpigmentation, and other dermal pigmentation concerns. Simultaneously, the Er:YAG laser (2940 nm) gently ablates superficial skin layers, effectively treating sunspots, keratoses, and epidermal pigmented lesions while offering precise skin resurfacing with minimal thermal damage. This advanced laser treatment provides safe, efficient results with minimal downtime, making it an ideal choice for achieving radiant, even-toned skin.
Laser removal of pigmented lesions works by destroying the pigment in the skin without the need for excision. This process in completed in 3 simple steps:
Step 1 - LIGHT ABSORPTION: The laser produces short nanosecond pulses of intense light that pass harmlessly through the top layers of the skin to be selectively absorbed by the melanin pigment in the lesion.
Step 2 – PIGMENT BREAK-UP: The laser light is transformed into photoacoustic waves which mechanically break up the melanin pigment into smaller particles.
Step 3 – PIGMENT REMOVAL: These particles are then removed by the body's own immune system, as the skin's macro-phages clear the excess pigment from the area.
For optimal results, several treatments (4-8) are needed.

The Fotona laser uses precise beams of light that target the pigmented lesion without damaging surrounding tissues. You may experience a mild warming sensation or a light snapping feeling as the laser is applied. Most patients tolerate the procedure well, but the level of discomfort can vary based on the individual and the size of the lesion.
The treatment duration typically ranges from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of lesions being treated.
Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women: Treatment should be postponed during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Extra caution is advised for individuals with very sensitive skin or darker skin tones (Types V and VI).
Follow-Up and Maintainance
Sun Protection: Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks. Use SPF 30+ sunscreen.
Gentle Care: Use mild cleanser, hydrating moisturizer, and avoid picking or scratching peeling skin.
Hydration: Use non-comedogenic products.
Rest: Avoid sweating or strenuous activities for a week.
Follow-Up: Results will become more apparent over the weeks following treatment as the pigment is naturally absorbed and eliminated by the body. A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to assess the results and discuss any additional treatments if necessary.
