Pigmentation laser treatment is a proven method to reduce visible pigmentation in the upper layers of the skin. Whether caused by sun exposure, hormones, or age, pigmentation often appears as sun spots, melasma, or uneven patches.
Common Types of Pigmentation:
- Age spots (sun-induced pigmentation)
- Melasma (hormonal pigmentation) – often seen during pregnancy or after prolonged sun exposure.
How Pigmentation Laser Treatment Works
Laser pigmentation removal uses light energy to target and break down excess melanin in the skin. The pigment absorbs the laser, shatters into microscopic particles, and is naturally eliminated through the lymphatic system.
With each dark spot laser removal session:
- Pigment fades
- Edges blur
- Skin tone evens out
Treatment Plan for Pigmentation Removal
- Interval between sessions: approx. 1 month
- Number of sessions: typically 3–5 (depending on the depth of pigmentation)
- Maintenance sessions: may be required for recurring triggers like sun exposure or hormonal changes
Post-Treatment Recommendations
- Always apply SPF 50+ sunscreen, even on cloudy days
- Use a hydration booster to promote drainage and skin recovery
- Mild redness or peeling may occur for a few days
- Avoid tanning beds, hot baths, or saunas for 72 hours
Benefits of Laser Pigmentation Removal
- High precision – targets only excess pigment without harming surrounding skin
- Minimal downtime – return to normal routine the same day
- Long-term results – especially with sun protection and periodic care
