Melasma is fairly common in Asian patients with a dark
skin tone. It has long been known for its recalcitrance to any form of treatment.
Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation means an excess of pigment. There are several types of hyperpigmentation seen in humans:
- freckles
- disease-related hyperpigmentation
- pregnancy-related hyperpigmentation
- enzymatic deficiencies
Epidermal and
dermal pigmented lesions
The MedliteTM C Series
is perfect for treating a wide variety of epidermal and dermal
pigmented lesions, including age spots, solar lentigines, café-au-lait
lesions and dermal melanycytosis. Many superficial lesions can be
removed quickly and become a huge profit center in your practice, as
well as making a significant difference in the lives of your

Both the 532 nm and
650 nm wavelengths are excellent for the removal of epidermal
pigmented lesions. Research has been conducted by a wide range of
notable doctors of The Laser Center of
Virginia, Virginia Beach, VA. and New Jersey Pasack Valley Hospital Skin Laser Center. One treatment typically
showed excellent clearing with no incidence of hypopigmentation.

The 1064 nm wavelength of the
MedliteTM is extremely effective in the treatment of
dermal melaynocytosis such as Nevus of Ota and abberant Mongolian
spot. Extensive early research was conducted by physicians in Asia,
with thousands of patients treated to date. Multiple treatments were
spaced at 2-month intervals or greater. No permanent side effects
were observed, and only occasional transient hyperpigmentation was
noted, usually resolving within two months. In all cases, lesions
lightened after each treatment, and significant lightening occurred
after multiple treatment
