Pigmented Lesion

Understanding Our Process

Our Pigmented Lesion Service provides a detailed and systematic examination of pigmented skin lesions. The process begins with a visual analysis, followed by a dermatoscopic examination using advanced dermatoscopes. This equipment offers magnified images, allowing for a more in-depth inspection of the lesion's characteristics.

We meticulously assess each lesion, focusing on critical features such as asymmetry, border irregularity, color variation, and diameter. If any concerning features are observed and malignancy is suspected, a biopsy is recommended for a histopathological examination to gain further insights. This comprehensive approach aids in identifying potential malignancies early and guides us in determining the most suitable treatment strategy.

Patient history, including previous skin conditions and family history of skin cancer, is also considered, which helps in understanding any underlying predispositions. This thorough process ensures that each patient receives informed evaluations and personalized care plans aligning with their specific needs.

Care Tips & Results

After undergoing a comprehensive evaluation of pigmented lesions at Luminous Laser and Skin Spa, it is essential for patients to follow specific care tips to ensure ongoing skin health and optimal results. Regularly monitoring the lesions for any changes, such as growth, color alteration, or bleeding, is critical. Any observed changes should be promptly reported to your dermatologist for timely evaluation and intervention if needed.

Incorporating sun protection into your daily routine is vital to protect against UV damage, which can exacerbate pigmentation issues. Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF, wearing protective clothing, and seeking shade when possible are excellent preventive measures.

The results of our Pigmented Lesion Service are significant, offering patients peace of mind through thorough assessment and early detection capabilities. Our approach enables informed decision-making regarding biopsy and treatment options, enhancing patient outcomes by addressing potential skin cancer risks early, ultimately supporting healthier and clearer skin.
