Laser Pigmentation Correction & Sun Spot Removals
Pigmented lesions, commonly known as brown spots, age spots, or sunspots, are skin imperfections that are often caused by sun exposure or the natural aging process. These blemishes develop due to a buildup of melanin in the skin. With our Q-switched laser technology, ZAP is equipped to treat pigmentation, common sun spots, and other skin conditions.
Many individuals seek to remove sun spots for cosmetic reasons, although in some cases, these spots can be early indicators of skin cancer. ZAP Laser Tattoo Removal recommends consulting a dermatologist or physician before pursuing laser treatment for pigmented lesions, to rule out any potential health concerns.

How Pigmented Lesion Removal Works at ZAP
Our Astanza Trinity laser delivers ultra-quick pulses of light energy directly to the unwanted pigmented areas. This light energy is absorbed by the excess melanin, causing it to heat up, break apart, and safely fade away, while leaving the surrounding skin tissue unharmed. Our body naturally replaces these treated cells with new, healthy ones.
After treatment, a scab may form over the treated spot. It’s essential to let it heal and fall off naturally. To prevent new spots from developing, applying daily SPF is highly recommended. ZAP’s laser specialists provide each client with a list of aftercare instructions to help the skin heal post treatment.
