Pigmentation Laser Removal – Even, Glowing Skin
What is Pigmentation Removal?
The 1064nm Nd:YAG laser is a gold-standard treatment for stubborn pigmentation (melasma, sun spots, PIH). It delivers deep yet gentle energy to break down excess melanin without damaging surrounding skin—ideal for all skin types.
Treats:
-
Sun/age spots
-
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
-
Melasma
-
Freckles
Benefits of 1064nm Laser for Pigmentation
-
Safe for Dark Skin: Unlike IPL/Fraxel, minimal hypopigmentation risk.
-
Long-Term Results: 80–90% clearance after 3–6 sessions.
How Does Pigmentation Removal Work?
-
Targeted Energy: The 1064nm wavelength bypasses surface skin to fragment pigment clusters beneath.
-
Natural Clearance: Your body gradually flushes out pigment over 2–4 weeks.
-
Collagen Stimulation: Bonus—reduces fine lines via thermal remodeling!
Before Your Session
-
Avoid sun/tanning 4 weeks (active tan = postponed treatment).
-
Stop retinoids/acids 1 week prior.
-
Disclose melasma triggers (hormonal BC, thyroid issues).
Aftercare Musts
-
SPF 50+ daily – Non-negotiable to prevent rebound pigmentation.
-
Use gentle, brightening skincare
-
Avoid heat (saunas, workouts) for 48 hours.
How Many Sessions?
-
Mild Pigmentation: 2–3 sessions (4 weeks apart).
-
Stubborn Melasma: 5–6 sessions + maintenance.
