Epidermal and dermal pigmented
lesions
Melasma is fairly common in Asian patients with a dark skin
tone. It has long been known for its recalcitrance to any form of
treatment.
Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation means an excess of
pigment. There are several types of hyperpigmentation seen in
humans:
- freckles
- disease-related hyperpigmentation
- pregnancy-related hyperpigmentation
- enzymatic deficiencies
Epidermal and
dermal pigmented lesions
The MedliteTM

dermal pigmented lesions, including age spots, solar lentigines,
café-au-lait lesions and dermal melanycytosis. Many superficial
lesions can be removed quickly and become a huge profit center in

Both the 532 nm
and 650 nm wavelengths are excellent for the removal of epidermal
pigmented lesions. Research has been conducted by a wide range of
notable doctors of The Laser Center of Virginia, Virginia Beach,
VA. and New Jersey Pasack Valley Hospital Skin Laser Center. One
treatment typically showed excellent clearing with no incidence of
hypopigmentation.

The 1064 nm
wavelength of the MedliteTM is extremely effective in
the treatment of dermal melaynocytosis such as Nevus of Ota and
abberant Mongolian spot. Extensive early research was conducted by
physicians in Asia, with thousands of patients treated to date.
Multiple treatments were spaced at 2-month intervals or greater.
No permanent side effects were observed, and only occasional
transient hyperpigmentation was noted, usually resolving within
two months. In all cases, lesions lightened after each treatment,
and significant lightening occurred after multiple treatments. |
