    Laser Pigmentation Treatmentin Boston

    Remove Dark Spots and Achieve Radiant Skin with the GentleMax Laser

    Dark spots, sun damage, and uneven skin tone are common concerns that can be frustrating to deal with, and can also have a significant impact on one’s confidence. At Boston Medical Aesthetics, we specialize in laser treatment for pigmentation concerns using the advanced GentleMax Laser to target benign pigmented lesions like sun spots, age spots, and solar lentigines. With our safe and effective laser pigmentation treatment, you can remove dark spots on the face and other areas, achieving a more even and youthful complexion.

    What is Laser Pigmentation Treatment?

    Laser pigmentation treatment, also known as Laser Spot Treatment, is a simple and safe procedure to reduce unwanted dark spots on the skin caused by too much melanin. This treatment uses focused laser light to target and break down the areas of discoloration, allowing your body to gradually remove the pigment naturally.

    At Boston Medical Aesthetics, we use the advanced GentleMax Laser, which is well-regarded for its effectiveness in treating issues like sun and age spots. This technology ensures a safe and efficient way to improve your skin's appearance and address various pigmentation concerns. It's appropriate for lighter skin types (Fitzpatrick I to III). The GentleMax Laser provides noticeable improvements in skin tone and clarity with minimal downtime, prioritizing your safety and comfort throughout the process.

    Common Conditions Treated with Laser Pigmentation Treatment

    Our laser treatment for pigmentation can help with a variety of common concerns, including:

    • Sun Spots: Flat, brown spots caused by prolonged sun exposure, commonly appearing on the face, hands, and chest.
    • Age Spots: Also known as liver spots, these appear as a result of UV exposure and aging.
    • Solar Lentigines: Pigmented lesions that develop due to cumulative sun damage.
    • Café-au-Lait Spots: Light to dark brown patches that may be present at birth or develop over time.

    This treatment is specifically for benign pigmented lesions and is not intended for conditions like melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

    Laser pigmentation treatment offers several advantages for those seeking to remove dark spots on the face and improve skin clarity:

    • Precise Targeting: The GentleMax Laser focuses on pigmented lesions without affecting the surrounding skin.
    • Non-Invasive Procedure: Achieve clearer skin without surgery or incisions.
    • Quick Sessions: Treatments typically take 30 minutes or less.
    • Minimal Downtime: Return to your normal activities quickly after the procedure.
    • Improved Skin Appearance: Reduces the visibility of dark spots and promotes a more even skin tone.

    Am I a Candidate for Laser Pigmentation Treatment?

    Laser pigmentation treatment is suitable for individuals with lighter, untanned skin (Fitzpatrick skin types I to III) who are looking to address benign pigmentation issues such as sun spots or age spots. However, it is not recommended for:

    • Darker skin tones are due to an increased risk of pigmentation changes or burns.
    • Active skin infections or conditions in the treatment area.
    • Pigmentation caused by hormonal changes (e.g., melasma) or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

    During your consultation, our team will assess your skin type and concerns to determine if this treatment is right for you.

    How Does the GentleMax Laser Work?

    The GentleMax Laser is an advanced technology that delivers precise energy to pigmented lesions. The laser’s energy is absorbed by the excess melanin in the targeted area, breaking it into smaller particles that are naturally eliminated by the body over time. This technology is renowned for its effectiveness in treating benign pigmentation, making it an ideal choice for patients seeking reliable results in their pigmentation treatment.

    What to Expect During Laser Pigmentation Treatment

    Consultation and Preparation:

    • We’ll evaluate your skin type and pigmentation concerns during your consultation to create a customized treatment plan.
    • Preparation includes avoiding sun exposure, self-tanners, and exfoliating products for at least two weeks before treatment.

    The Treatment Procedure:

    • The treatment area will be cleansed and protective eyewear will be provided.
    • The GentleMax Laser will deliver energy pulses to the targeted lesions, causing the pigment to break down.
    • Most patients describe the sensation as a light snapping or tingling, with no need for anesthetic.

    Post-Treatment Recovery:

    • The treated areas may darken temporarily and then flake off within one to two weeks, revealing clearer skin.
    • Mild redness or sensitivity is normal and subsides quickly.

    Results, Recovery, and Aftercare with Laser Pigmentation Treatment

    After your first session, you’ll notice a visible reduction in the appearance of pigmented lesions. While many patients see significant results after one treatment, multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal outcomes.

    Post-Treatment Tips:

    • Apply sunscreen daily to protect your skin and prevent new pigmentation from forming.
    • Avoid direct sun exposure during the healing process.
    • Follow any skincare instructions given by your provider to ensure the best results.


    With proper care and maintenance, your laser pigmentation treatment results can last for years, allowing you to enjoy a clearer and more radiant complexion.
