Border and distribution
We distinguish separate lesions from pigment that blends across a wider area.
ELION SPOT CLEAR
Pigmented spots and skin lesionsSpot Clear
Pigmented spots, moles, milia and sebaceous hyperplasia are assessed separately to select suitable equipment and treatment.
WHAT WE ASSESS
Five areas assessed in Spot Clear
Color and likely depth
Color from light to dark brown helps guide treatment strength and selection.
Surface thickness
We determine whether the lesion is flat or has a raised, thickened surface.
Change and treatment history
Growth, darkening and response to previous treatment are reviewed.
Skin and recovery
Skin type, sun exposure, pigmentation risk and aftercare timing are considered.
SELECT BY ROLE
The role of treatment changes with the lesion.
Distinguish first
Visual examination and magnified inspection when needed help determine whether cosmetic laser treatment is appropriate.
Target defined pigment
A flat, defined lesion may be considered for selective laser treatment matched to its color and likely depth.
Address thickness
A raised or thickened lesion may require a different approach from a simple pigment laser.
Crust and pigment care
Protection, sunscreen and crust care after treatment are important for recovery and reducing post-inflammatory pigmentation.
PRODUCTS & EQUIPMENT
Equipment and treatment options
The treatment area, skin condition and response guide the choice of devices, products and sequence.

Milia
- Action II Er:YAG
Sebaceous hyperplasia
- Potenza Agnes

Pigment type and lesion depth are assessed first. Melasma is managed by reviewing response, while suspicious lesions need appropriate assessment before cosmetic treatment.
Sun protection and crust care are part of treatment.
Redness, warmth, a fine crust or temporary color change may occur depending on the method. Do not pick at the area; follow cleansing and moisturizing advice and contact the clinic if the response is not as expected.
- A lesion that has recently changed in size, color or shape, or bleeds, needs medical assessment first.
- Allow crusts to detach naturally and follow the advised cleansing and moisturizing routine.
- Even after a treated spot fades, new pigment can develop, so continue sun protection.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Frequently asked questions
Can I ask about moles, milia or sebaceous hyperplasia?
Yes. After identifying the lesion, options may include Action II, U-Pulse or Potenza Agnes, with injectable treatment when indicated. Lesions that change in size, color or shape, or bleed, need medical assessment and any necessary tests before cosmetic treatment.
How are a sun spot and melasma different?
A sun spot often appears as a more defined individual lesion, while melasma is commonly broader and more blurred on both sides of the face. They can coexist, so examination matters.
Are a solar lentigo and seborrheic keratosis the same?
No. A solar lentigo is usually flat, while a seborrheic keratosis may have a thicker or raised surface. Their management can differ, so surface and shape are assessed before treatment.
Will one session remove it completely?
The number of sessions depends on the lesion type, depth and surface. We do not promise complete removal in one treatment; response and recovery guide the next plan.
Will a crust form after treatment?
A fine crust or temporary darkening can occur with some methods. Expected recovery and timing for cleansing and makeup are explained before treatment.
Can a spot return in the same place?
Residual pigment may darken again or a new lesion may appear. Ongoing sun protection and follow-up are important.
Are freckles or acne marks treated with Spot Clear?
Freckles and other spots can be assessed through Spot Clear. Melasma, post-inflammatory pigmentation and broader tone concerns are evaluated by their cause and extent, with TextureAxis care considered when appropriate.
Are there times when laser is not performed immediately?
Yes. If the appearance or recent change is not typical of a straightforward pigment lesion, medical assessment and any necessary evaluation come before cosmetic laser treatment.
