Laser Laser Pigment Removal in Ajax, Ontario | Elegancy Beauty Bar
Clear Pigmentation with Cynosure Elite+ Pigmented Lesion Removal
Sun spots, age spots, freckles, and unwanted pigmentation can impact your confidence and age your appearance.
At Elegancy Beauty Bar in Ajax, Ontario, we use Cynosure Elite+ Pigmented Lesion Removal—a non-invasive laser treatment designed to safely and effectively reduce pigmentation while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.
Whether you’re dealing with sun spots, age spots, freckles, or other benign pigmented lesions, our laser treatment targets excess melanin at the source, restoring an even, radiant complexion with minimal recovery time.
What Is Cynosure Elite+ Pigmented Lesion Removal?
Cynosure Elite+ Pigmented Lesion Removal is a non-invasive laser treatment that uses focused light energy to target and reduce excess melanin in the skin. The laser energy is absorbed by pigmented cells, causing them to darken initially before gradually flaking away as your skin naturally heals and sheds the treated pigment.
Unlike topical creams or other treatments, laser energy penetrates the skin to address pigmentation at its root—making it one of the most effective solutions for stubborn discoloration.
How the Treatment Works
During treatment, our skin specialist uses a laser handpiece to deliver precise pulses of light to the pigmented area. The laser targets melanin while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Most clients describe the sensation as a light snapping or tingling feeling.
The treatment is quick—most sessions last 15 to 30 minutes depending on the size and number of areas being treated. After treatment, you’ll experience some temporary effects (see “What to Expect After Treatment” below), but recovery is straightforward with proper aftercare.
Why Choose Cynosure Elite+ Pigmented Lesion Removal?
Proven, Visible Results
Many clients notice visible fading of pigmentation after their first treatment. Most clients achieve excellent results in just 1 to 3 treatment sessions, depending on the depth, type, and severity of the pigmentation. Results continue to improve as treated pigment naturally sheds over several days.
Quick & Convenient Treatment
Each session is quick—typically 15 to 30 minutes depending on the size and number of areas being treated. Treatments are spaced 4 weeks apart (once per month) to allow adequate healing between sessions.
Straightforward Recovery
While you will experience some temporary post-treatment effects (mild redness, swelling, darkening of the treated pigment), these resolve within several days. There is no extended downtime, and you can resume most normal activities immediately with proper aftercare.
Personalized Treatment
A personalized consultation is required before treatment to determine whether you are a suitable candidate and to develop the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific skin type and pigmentation concerns.
Safe & Effective
Cynosure Elite+ targets excess melanin while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. This precision allows for effective pigment removal across different skin types.

What to Expect: The Treatment Process
Step 1: Consultation & Assessment
During your initial visit, our skin specialist will evaluate your pigmentation, assess your skin type, and discuss your desired results. We’ll explain how the laser works and what you can realistically expect.
Step 2: Treatment Preparation
We’ll cleanse your skin and apply a cooling gel to the treatment area. If needed, numbing cream may be applied (though most clients find the procedure comfortable without it).
Step 3: Laser Treatment
Our specialist will use a handheld laser device to deliver precise pulses of light to the pigmented area. The treatment typically takes 15 to 30 minutes.
Step 4: Post-Treatment Instructions
We’ll apply a soothing moisturizer and provide detailed post-treatment care instructions. While you can resume most normal activities, you’ll need to follow specific aftercare guidelines (see “Aftercare & Maintenance” section below) for the first 24 hours to ensure proper healing.
Results & Timeline of Laser Pigment Removal
After your first session
Many clients notice visible fading of pigmentation. The treated pigment may initially darken before gradually flaking away as the skin heals.
Over several days
As your skin naturally sheds the treated pigment, you’ll notice continued improvement.
Optimal results
Most clients achieve excellent results in 1 to 3 treatment sessions. The exact number depends on the depth, type, and severity of your pigmentation. Treatments are spaced 4 weeks apart (once per month) to allow adequate healing between sessions.
Individual results vary, and additional treatments may be recommended based on your progress and desired outcome. Continued daily sun protection is essential to help prevent future pigmentation and maintain your results.
What to Expect After Treatment
Following Cynosure Elite+ Pigmented Lesion Removal, it is normal to experience the following temporary effects, which usually resolve within several days:
- Mild redness in the treated area
- Mild to moderate swelling
- A warm or sunburn-like sensation
- Darkening of the treated pigment (this is a normal part of the healing process—the pigment will gradually flake away)
- Dryness or light peeling as the pigment naturally sheds
These effects are temporary and indicate that the treatment is working. Do not be alarmed if the treated spots appear darker immediately after treatment—this is expected and will fade as the pigment naturally sheds over the following days.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Laser Pigment Removal
Does laser pigment removal hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as mild snapping or tingling. The procedure is generally comfortable. Numbing cream can be applied if desired.
How long does each session take?
Most treatments take 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.
Can I wear makeup after treatment?
No—do not apply makeup to the treated area for the first 24 hours. This is essential for proper healing. After 24 hours have passed, you may resume wearing makeup.
Why does my pigmentation look darker after treatment?
This is completely normal. Treated pigment naturally darkens before gradually flaking away over the following days as your skin heals. This darkening indicates that the laser treatment is working.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients achieve excellent results in 1 to 3 treatment sessions, depending on the depth, type, and severity of the pigmentation. Treatments are spaced 4 weeks apart (once per month) to allow adequate healing. We’ll assess your progress and recommend the right treatment plan during your consultation.
Will my pigmentation come back?
Laser-treated pigmentation is effectively removed. However, new sun exposure can cause new spots to form. Daily sunscreen use (SPF 30+) and sun avoidance are essential for maintaining your results long-term.
