Age spots, freckles and other minor blemishes are caused by melanin, a substance which gives our skin its colour. When melanin gathers in one spot, it becomes noticeable as a discoloured area. The wavelengths of light produced by laser technology are designed to be absorbed by these pigmented areas causing the spots to gradually disappear. The treatment is quick and not usually painful however, any discomfort experienced can be eased with an ice pack.
