Pigmented lesions are remarkably common and the overwhelming majority are benign. It is widely recognized in the medical community that lasers are the ideal tools for effectively removing benign pigmented lesions. Multi-wavelength, Q-Switched laser systems are uniquely able to produce very short pulses of intense light that are selectively absorbed by treatment-specific pigments in a lesion.

The Touch uses laser systems as the perfect tool for treating a wide range of pigmented lesions, enabling treatments for everything from nevi (moles) and vascular lesions to ephelides, sunspots and melasma. Superficial lesions can be treated most effectively and also lasers can be used to target deeper lesions.

Safe, Effective and Minimally Invasive Treatments

For a difficult-to-treat condition such as melasma, the treatment with lasers is especially effective due to the selectivity of light, enabling it to break apart pigments only and not cells. This means that pigment destruction can take place without ablating the skin – a unique feature that also allows other treatment possibilities, such as the safe and effective removal of complex, multi-colored tattoos.
