Today, a large number of people are dealing with issues like pigmentation and uneven skin tone. Whether it’s dark patches, sunspots, melasma, or marks left behind after acne, uneven skin tone can affect how we feel about our appearance. If you’re looking for a safe, non-invasive, and long-lasting solution, laser treatment for pigmentation is a powerful option.
This advanced treatment uses laser technology to reduce unwanted dark spots and give you a brighter, clearer complexion — safely and effectively.
Your skin develops pigmentation due to an overproduction of melanin—the natural pigment that determines your skin tone.This leads to dark spots or patches, usually on the face, neck, arms, or hands. Pigmentation can appear in many forms and is often triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, skin injuries, or aging.
These are brown or gray patches usually seen on the cheeks, forehead, nose, or chin.This condition is frequently seen in women and is often associated with hormonal fluctuations.
Also called age spots or liver spots, these occur due to long-term sun exposure and mostly appear on sun-exposed areas like the face and arms.
This type of pigmentation appears after acne, cuts, burns, or skin irritation. The skin heals but leaves behind a dark patch.
These are small, scattered brown spots that often run in families but can increase with sun exposure.
Laser treatment is one of the most advanced and result-oriented methods for treating pigmentation. It directly targets the melanin in the dark spots, breaking it down so your body can naturally remove it.
Here’s why many patients prefer this treatment:
Long-lasting results with proper care
In the procedure, intense light beams from the laser are absorbed by melanin, causing the pigment to break apart. These particles are slowly removed by the skin’s natural process, resulting in lighter and clearer skin.
The laser works without damaging the surrounding skin, making it a safe option when performed by trained professionals.
Your skin will be examined to identify the type and depth of pigmentation. The doctor will also determine your skin type and recommend a suitable laser system.
Your face is cleaned thoroughly. Applying a numbing cream helps make the process more comfortable for the patient.
