Dual What Is Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)?

Benign lesions are non-cancerous growths or pigmentations on the skin’s surface. They can vary in color, size, and shape and often develop due to sun exposure, genetics, or aging.

Common types include:



Freckles

Small, light-brown spots that become darker with sun exposure.



Solar Lentigines (Age Spots)

Larger brown patches from UV damage.



Seborrheic Keratoses

Rough, wart-like growths often seen with age.



Moles (Nevi)

Pigmented growths that can be flat or raised.



Café-au-lait Spots

Light brown patches present from birth or early life.

Although these spots are harmless, many patients choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons, to even out skin tone, or to restore a youthful complexion.

Dual Diagnosis and Evaluation

Before any treatment, it’s critical to ensure that a lesion is truly benign. At Serenity Rejuvenation Center, Dr. O’Connell performs a comprehensive visual and dermatoscopic evaluation to confirm your lesions are non-cancerous and suitable for laser removal.

If there’s any doubt, we may recommend a dermatologist or biopsy to rule out malignancy before proceeding.

Once confirmed as benign, PicoSure becomes an ideal choice for quick, precise, and scar-free removal.

Dual How PicoSure® Works for Benign Lesions

Unlike traditional lasers or surgical excisions that use heat or blades, PicoSure uses ultra-short picosecond pulses of light energy to shatter pigment particles in the skin without burning or damaging surrounding tissue.

This photoacoustic effect gently fragments pigment into microscopic particles, which your body’s natural healing processes remove over time.

Dual The PicoSure Process: What to Expect

Traditional pigmentation treatments often rely on heat-based lasers or chemical exfoliation, which can worsen inflammation and lead to rebound hyperpigmentation especially in medium to deep skin tones.

The PicoSure laser is different. It uses ultra-short picosecond pulses of energy to shatter pigment particles beneath the skin without generating heat. This photoacoustic effect breaks down pigment into microscopic fragments that the body naturally eliminates, leaving skin brighter and more even-toned.

Consultation

Dr. O’Connell begins with a detailed skin analysis to determine your lesion type, pigment depth, and treatment plan. He will explain expected outcomes, number of sessions, and aftercare.

Treatment Session

A cooling gel is applied for comfort. Then, the PicoSure handpiece delivers precise laser pulses directly to the targeted lesion.
Patients describe the feeling as mild snaps against the skin comfortable without anesthesia.

Treatment times typically range from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the number and size of lesions.

Post-Treatment Care

After treatment, the skin may appear slightly red or frosted, which subsides within hours. Tiny scabs can form and flake off naturally within a week.
We provide clear post-care instructions including:

Avoiding direct sun exposure for 5–7 days
Using gentle cleansers and SPF 50+ sunscreen

Refraining from picking or scratching the treated area

Results Timeline

Most benign lesions fade or disappear after one to three sessions. Because PicoSure also rejuvenates collagen, patients often notice smoother, more radiant skin overall.

Dual Why Choose PicoSure Over Other Treatments

PicoSure vs. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)

While IPL targets pigmentation broadly, it’s less precise and can overheat the skin, especially in medium to dark tones. PicoSure uses shorter energy pulses to focus solely on pigment particles, minimizing risk and maximizing results.

PicoSure vs. Surgical Removal

Traditional mole or lesion excisions involve cutting and suturing, leading to scars or uneven texture. PicoSure offers non-invasive removal without surgical risks ideal for the face, neck, and décolletage.

PicoSure vs. Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy uses freezing to destroy tissue, which can cause blistering or hypopigmentation. PicoSure’s precision ensures controlled pigment removal without affecting healthy tissue.
