LHE targets melanin with light within the benign 400 – 1200nm light spectrum. This allows for effective coagulation of the target while optimizing safety by completely avoiding the UV exposure present in lower wavelengths. The added heat value of LHE further raises the core temperature, achieving coagulation without resorting to potentially dangerous high fluence levels. Once coagulated, the lesion is sloughed away by the body's natural healing process within 2 weeks following treatment.

	LHE targets directly targets melanin a found in pigmented lesions.
	The treated cells are naturally eliminated by the body and replaced with new healthy cells.
