Laser treatments for pigmentation and melasma work by delivering concentrated beams of light energy to the targeted areas. This energy is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the skin, breaking it down into smaller particles that the body can naturally eliminate. The precision of laser technology allows us to target the pigment without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue.
Our dermatologists will evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and determine the most suitable laser treatment for you.
Your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort.
The laser device will be used to deliver targeted energy to the pigmented areas.
You will receive specific instructions on how to care for your skin after the treatment, including sun protection and recommended skincare products.
While laser treatment can significantly reduce the appearance of melasma, it’s important to understand that melasma can be a recurring condition, especially if the underlying triggers (such as hormonal changes or sun exposure) are not addressed. Maintenance treatments and diligent sun protection are crucial for long-term results.
The number of laser treatment sessions required varies depending on the severity of your pigmentation or melasma, as well as the type of laser used. Most patients require a series of treatments, typically spaced several weeks apart, to achieve optimal results.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during laser treatment. A topical numbing cream is often applied to the treatment area to minimize any potential discomfort. Some patients may feel a mild stinging or snapping sensation during the procedure.
While laser treatment can significantly lighten melasma and improve its appearance, complete removal may not always be possible. The goal of laser treatment is to reduce the visibility of melasma and improve overall skin tone and texture.
