Restore your skin to its original complexion

Treatment of pigmented Lesions using DPC technology is a proprietary light-based technology that enables you to treat unwanted pigmented lesions effectively, quickly, safely, and requires only a small number of treatments.

Clear and unblemished skin is only a treatment away!

Pigmented lesions are darkened spots on the skin. Their causes vary - they can be hereditary, or appear after hormonal changes like childbirth. The majority of pigmented lesions known as ‘sun spots’ or ‘solar lentigo’ are caused by over exposure to the sun’s damaging UV rays and begin to appear around the age of 40.
With SharpLight’s treatment, you can safely and effectively get rid of unwanted pigmentation. The treatment is comfortable, fast and requires absolutely no downtime. Best of all, most patients can see dramatic results after the very first session.

How does it work?

During the treatment, Dynamic Pulse Control (DPC) pulses are emitted into the skin. Due to the specific wavelength of the pulses, the pigmented lesion optimally absorbs the light energy. The energy causes the pigmented lesion to break and eventually disappear while leaving the rest of the skin unharmed. Initially this process will manifest as darkening of the pigment, then a scab will cover that treated area that is naturally exfoliated within 1-2 weeks.
