Skin Rejuvination FAQ'S:
1.Which pigmented lesions can be treated with laser?
The most common treated conditions are solar letigines, also known as "age spots," "liver spots" or "sun spots"; cafe' au lait birthmarks; and freckles. These benign pigmented lesions are due to an excess of pigment in the skin, usually due to sunlight exposure and congenital factors. Age spots may appear as enlarged light freckles on the face and hands. Cafe' au lait birthmarks may appear as light brown markings anywhere on the body and can be quite large.
2.Are the results permanent?
Most pigmented lesions if completely removed will not return. At times, however, sun exposure may cause cafe'-au-lait spots to return. Permanence cannot be guaranteed. You will also continue to develop more age spots and freckles with time, and the appearance of these new lesions should not be confused with recurrence.
