LASER PIGMENTATION REDUCTION
Laser pigmentation reduction is a cosmetic procedure that uses focused laser energy to target and break down excess melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots, sun spots, age spots, and other forms of hyperpigmentation. The laser selectively destroys the pigmented cells without harming the surrounding healthy tissue, leading to a more even skin tone.

-
Targeting melanin: Lasers emit specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by melanin.
-
Breaking down pigment: The absorbed light energy heats and shatters the melanin, breaking it into smaller particles.
-
Natural removal: The body's natural processes then remove these fragmented pigment particles, gradually fading the dark spots.
-
Number of sessions:
The number of treatments needed varies depending on the type and severity of pigmentation, but typically 2-4 sessions are required.
Treatment time:
Each session usually lasts between 20-40 minutes, but this can vary.
Discomfort:
Some patients may experience a slight snapping sensation during the procedure.
Recovery:
After treatment, there may be some redness or swelling, which usually subsides within a few hours.
Results:
Visible results can be seen within 7-10 days, with optimal results appearing after a few weeks.
Maintenance:
Sun protection (SPF 30 or higher) is crucial to prevent future pigmentation.
-
Laser pigmentation reduction can effectively reduce the appearance of freckles, sun spots, age spots, and other forms of hyperpigmentation.
-
While 100% clearance is not always guaranteed, a significant reduction in pigmentation can be achieved with a full course of treatment.
-
The results can be long-lasting, but some individuals may experience recurrence due to factors like sun exposure, hormonal changes, or individual skin reactions.
