Pigmented Lesions (Brown Spots) Overview

Pigmented lesions, commonly referred to as brown spots, are areas of skin discoloration caused by excess melanin production. They can appear as freckles, sunspots, age spots, or melasma, ranging in color from light brown to dark brown. While usually harmless, pigmented lesions are a frequent cosmetic concern associated with sun exposure and aging.

Types / Classifications of Pigmented Lesions (Brown Spots)

Freckles (Ephelides): Small spots that darken with sun exposure.Sunspots (Solar Lentigines): Larger patches caused by chronic sun exposure.Age Spots (Liver Spots): Common in older adults, appearing on hands, face, and chest.Melasma: Symmetrical brown patches triggered by hormones and sun.Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark spots following skin injury or acne.

Impact & Why Early Treatment Matters

Pigmented lesions can affect self-confidence and make skin appear uneven or older. Early treatment prevents spots from darkening, improves skin clarity, and reduces the risk of developing stubborn pigmentation. Addressing lesions promptly also enhances long-term skin health.

Pigmented Lesions (Brown Spots) Treatment Options

PicoSure®/PicoSure Pro®/PicoWay®

PicoSure®, PicoSure Pro®, and PicoWay® are next-generation picosecond lasers that deliver ultra-short bursts of energy to the skin — one trillionth of a second per pulse. This ultra-fast speed allows pigment and damaged skin cells to shatter into tiny particles that the body naturally clears away, while simultaneously triggering deep collagen renewal. The process uses a “photoacoustic” rather than thermal effect, minimizing heat damage and downtime.

These treatments effectively address melasma, sun spots, freckles, acne scars, enlarged pores, dull skin tone, and mild wrinkles. They are suitable for all skin types, offering a safe, non-invasive way to achieve long-term skin clarity and rejuvenation.
