Laser Pigmented Lesions Removal
The SP Dynamis laser system, paired with Fraxel technology, treats pigmented lesions using two complementary wavelengths:
The Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) penetrates deep into the skin, targeting melanin and breaking pigmentation into microparticles the body naturally clears. This makes it well-suited for melasma, hyperpigmentation, and other dermal pigmentation concerns.
The Er:YAG laser (2940 nm) works on the surface, gently ablating superficial skin layers to treat sunspots, keratoses, and epidermal pigmented lesions, resurfacing skin precisely while limiting thermal damage.
Fraxel adds a third layer: fractional laser technology that reaches both superficial and deeper pigmentation, promoting skin renewal with minimal downtime.
Together, these treatments aim for safe, efficient results with minimal downtime.
How the Treatment Works
Laser removal of pigmented lesions destroys pigment in the skin without excision, in three steps:
Light absorption — The laser emits short, nanosecond pulses of intense light that pass harmlessly through the skin's top layers and are selectively absorbed by melanin in the lesion.
Pigment break-up — That light converts into photoacoustic waves, which mechanically break the melanin into smaller particles.
Pigment removal — The body's immune system clears the particles, as macrophages remove the excess pigment from the treated area.
Most patients need 4–8 treatments for optimal results.

The Fraxel and Fotona lasers use 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.
