Becker’s Nevus Treatment with PicoStar Picosecond Laser at The Erasure

What is Becker’s Nevus?

Becker’s Nevus (also known as Becker’s melanosis) is a benign skin condition that appears as a large, well-defined patch of darkened skin, usually light-to-dark brown. It often develops during childhood or adolescence and may also feature increased hair growth (hypertrichosis) within the lesion.

How PicoStar Safely Lightens Becker’s Nevus

At The Erasure, we use the advanced PicoStar picosecond laser with specially tuned Pressure Wave technology to selectively target and shatter excess melanin deep within the epidermis and dermis—without damaging surrounding healthy tissue.

The ultra-short picosecond pulses deliver a powerful photomechanical effect that breaks pigment particles into tiny fragments that the body naturally clears away.

Treatment Highlights

  • Progressive lightening over a series of quick, comfortable sessions
  • Customizable spot sizes perfectly match the size and shape of each unique Becker’s Nevus
  • Only topical numbing cream required — minimal sensation during treatment
  • Rapid sessions with little to no downtime
  • Temporary redness (usually 1–3 days) is the most common side effect

What to Expect

  • Treated areas gradually darken slightly, then form a fine crust that naturally flakes off
  • Fresher, lighter skin emerges that blends more naturally with surrounding areas
  • Most patients see noticeable improvement after 3–6 sessions (spaced 6–8 weeks apart)
  • Continued fading and blending occurs for months after the final treatment

Thanks to the unmatched precision and power of PicoStar picosecond technology, The Erasure is proud to offer one of the safest and most effective solutions available for lightening Becker’s Nevus. Our patients love the dramatic yet natural-looking improvement and the renewed confidence that comes with smoother, more even-toned skin.
