Brighten Up: HALO™ Laser's Approach to Pigmented Lesions
&srotate=0)
Pigmented lesions, also known as hyperpigmentation, are dark spots that appear due to an increase in melanin production. While they're usually harmless, these lesions can be a cosmetic concern for many people and impact their self-confidence.
Fortunately, there are ways to achieve a brighter and more even-toned complexion. Concordia Star Medical Aesthetics is excited to offer HALO laser treatment (sometimes called laser resurfacing) in Puyallup, WA. Read about this advanced option below or call Dr. Ladie Araña-Domondon for a consultation. There's no need to live with pigmented lesions any longer.
Understanding pigmented lesions
Pigmented lesions can appear on your skin for various reasons. Common causes include sun damage, hormone changes, and trauma. They can also be hereditary, meaning that you may have a predisposition to develop them. Common types include:
- Freckles and dark spots: These are small, flat spots that vary in color from brown to black. They usually develop as a result of genetics or UV exposure.
- Age spots: Also known as liver spots, these dark patches appear on the face, hands, and arms.
- Melasma: Melasma is caused by hormone changes, often during pregnancy or while taking birth control pills. It usually shows up as brown patches on the face.
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: This occurs when the skin produces excess pigment in response to an injury, such as acne scars, cuts, or burns.
What is HALO laser treatment?
HALO laser treatment involves the use of a hybrid fractional laser. This means it combines ablative and non-ablative technologies to allow for superficial and deep skin rejuvenation at the same time. The ablative wavelength removes the top layer of damaged tissue, while the non-ablative wavelength targets the deeper layers to stimulate collagen production. Dr. Araña-Domondon personalizes each laser resurfacing procedure based on unique skin and cosmetic goals.
Benefits of HALO laser treatment
The HALO laser offers many advantages for those looking to improve pigmented lesions in Puyallup, WA. These include:
- Precise targeting: The dual-wavelength technology allows for precise targeting of different layers of the skin, resulting in more effective treatment. This also means less discomfort and downtime compared to traditional lasers.
- Versatile treatment: HALO laser can be used to address a wide range of issues. Dr. Araña-Domondon can manage pigmented lesions like freckles, age spots, and melasma, as well as fine lines and creases, uneven skin tone, poor skin texture, and sun damage.
- Long-lasting results: The HALO laser not only targets existing pigmented lesions but also stimulates collagen production for long-term improvements. Outcomes will continue to improve over time.
Will my pigmented lesions disappear?
While HALO laser treatment can significantly reduce pigmented lesions, it may not get rid of them. Some factors that could impact your results include the type and severity of your pigmentation, as well as how your skin responds to laser resurfacing. Dr. Araña-Domondon can discuss realistic expectations during your consultation. Our goal at Concordia Star Medical Aesthetics is to help you achieve a brighter, more radiant complexion.
