	LASER SYSTEM
	The Medlite laser is one of the most technologically advanced lasers for removing pigmented lesions, such as age spots, freckles and birthmarks. The laser removes these pigments with the energy of light. The specialised light produced by the Medlite laser is absorbed by the pigmented lesion. The unwanted pigment is then destroyed, thus removing or lightening the lesion. The Medlite is most commonly used for removing brown age spots,” liver spots”, freckles and other brown birthmarks, such as café-au-lait spots and Nevus of Ota. Most common pigmented lesions are removed within one to two treatments. Some deeper lesions will require more treatments. Common pigmented lesions do not return. Some birthmarks may return after several months to a year. However, the procedure can be repeated. The Medlite laser emits light in very short pulses. The impact of the energy from the power pulse of light is similar to the snap of a thin rubber band. After the treatment, the area will feel similar to light sunburn. Typically, any discomfort will disappear within a day or so. After the redness clears, the skin returns to its natural colour and texture. More about ANTI-PIGMENTATION by LASER SYSTEM (PDF)
