PIGMENTARY DERMATOLOGY

Lentigo or age spots can be a source of complexes. It indicates sensitivity or overexposure to the sun and yet bears stigmatizing names such as the slang "graveyard flower". The rejuvenating effect of laser for pigment spots is sometimes experienced as a liberation. The patient gets a new skin and a more harmonious complexion.

Before any intervention, an initial consultation allows the cosmetic dermatologist to make a diagnosis of your brown spots and lesions. He checks that the spots do not present any underlying pathology and validates the laser intervention. The treatment protocol includes 3 to 5 sessions spaced one month apart depending on the quantity, size and location of the brown spots to be treated and their melanin load.

The session lasts 15 to 30 minutes during which the dermatologist targets each pigment spot one by one. The laser works by fragmenting the melanin. The excess melanin accumulated in the brown spots is thus destroyed, while preserving the surface layer of the skin, with an impeccable result without visible scars. In order to reduce the patient's discomfort, likely to feel a slight sensation of heat and tingling, the doctor may prescribe an anesthetic cream to the patient to apply thirty minutes before the session.

With each session, the skin appears clearer, firmer and smoother, for an undeniable rejuvenating effect.
