Age spots, sun spots, and other examples of unwanted pigmentation issues can impact one’s self esteem, especially when they appear in prominent areas. Laser pigmentation treatment offers an efficient method of dark spot removal and sun damage correction with which to combat them.
The color of your skin, hair, and eyes is caused by melanin. The more melanin present, the darker the skin tone in that area. There are two problematic pigmentation types caused by the amount of melanin:
The precise targeting of laser pigment removal provides a solution that traditional methodologies are unable to attain.
Laser treatment for hyper-pigmentation is a non-invasive methodology targeting melanin-rich areas to break down pigmentation. Our Cynosure Clarity ll laser treats each spot individually, breaking up the excessive pigmentation without affecting the surrounding skin or tissue. This method of pigmentation removal offers long-lasting results.
Aftercare is simple but essential: Embrace a regular skin care routine and avoid exposure to the sun as much as possible during the recovery period. During this period some light scabbing will occur, which usually sloughs off within a week leaving fresh unblemished skin in its wake.
Melasma is a skin condition where dark patches appear, usually on the face although it can occur in any area that is regularly exposed to the sun. While both men and women can exhibit melasma, the American Academy of Dermatology notes that 90% of cases are women. According to a 2017 research review, melasma laser therapy offers a solution for those whose melasma is resistant to other treatments and people looking for quicker results.
Each case of hyper-pigmentation is unique, so the answer varies from person to person depending on the skin pigmentation treatment required. In general, the average case requires three to five sessions in order for results to manifest. For more information, contact us today.
