Pigmentation is the visible accumulation of melanin in the upper layers of the skin, often appearing as brown spots or uneven patches. Whether caused by sun exposure, hormones, or age, hyperpigmentation affects both men and women. The most common types include:
- Age spots (sun-induced pigmentation)
- Melasma (chloasma) – a deeper, hormone-related pigmentation, especially common in women after pregnancy or prolonged sun exposure
How Laser Treatment Works
Laser energy penetrates the skin and is selectively absorbed by melanin. The pigment heats up and breaks into microscopic particles. These are gradually cleared through the body’s lymphatic system.
With each session, spots become lighter, their edges fade, and the overall skin tone evens out.
Treatment Plan
- Interval between sessions: approximately 1 month
- Number of sessions: typically 3–5, depending on depth and age of pigmentation
- Maintenance sessions may be needed in cases of recurring triggers (sun exposure, hormonal changes)
Aftercare Recommendations
- Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days
- Maintain a proper hydration routine to support lymphatic drainage and skin regeneration
- Mild redness or peeling may occur for a few days but won’t interfere with daily life
- Avoid tanning beds, saunas, and steam rooms for the first 72 hours
Benefits of Laser Pigmentation Removal
- High precision – targets only melanin, without damaging surrounding skin
- Minimal downtime – return to your normal routine immediately
- Long-lasting results, especially with proper sun protection and skincare
Who Is It For?
Laser pigmentation removal is suitable for men and women with light to moderately tanned skin types (phototypes I–IV) who struggle with:
- Sun spots or age spots on the face, hands, or chest
- Melasma on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip
- Post-acne pigmentation or post-inflammatory dark spots
Expected Results
Most clients see noticeable lightening of dark spots after the first session. After completing the full course, pigmentation is visibly reduced or fully removed, leaving the skin clearer and brighter.
