Pigmented Skin Lesions
This treatment is a desirable way of removing aesthetically unappealing lesions as it does not require the use of chemicals or surgery. Pigmented lesions appear on the skin as freckles, age spots, moles, melasma and birthmarks. Using photoacoustic waves, the pigments are broken up into smaller particles which are then naturally absorbed by the skin.

Vascular Skin Lesions
Vascular lesions are marks that can appear on the body, most commonly on prominent places such as the face and legs. Types of vascular lesions include hemangiomas, port-wine stains, venous lakes, angiomas and telangiectasis. This laser therapy treatment destroys the walls of the vein by emitting energy, the energy is then absorbed by the blood and converted into heat.
