Laser removal of hyperpigmentation and other pigment changes

Sunspots occur in 50% of women and 20% of men over the age of 50.

Since these signs of aging are considered an aesthetic flaw, a large number of people want to remove them.

There are several different types of pigmentary changes that fundamentally differ in their morphological and histological characteristics. For this reason, the assessment and possible treatment of pigmentary phenomena on the skin should always be entrusted to a specialist physician.

Laser removal of hyperpigmentation and pigment changes

Treatments to remove pigment changes on the skin guarantee minimal risk and gentle and painless treatments for clients, and the results are very satisfactory.

This laser treatment can be used to treat various skin regions such as the face, arms, hands, legs, back, etc.

Bagatin Polyclinic offers 9 lasers to treat almost all aesthetic problems. We use lasers from Asclepion Laser Technologies, which, individually or in combination, provide excellent results.

Candidates for laser removal are people who:

• They have melasma on their cheeks, nose, forehead, and upper lip
• They fight the appearance of sunspots in the summer months
• Have any other form of dark spots on the skin
• They have age spots on their skin.

Before each treatment, our specialists in dermatovenerology will examine you in detail, if necessary, perform an analysis of the facial skin, according to which they will propose treatment and therapy.

Laser treatment for the removal of hyperpigmentation and other pigmentary changes is not complicated and is performed on an outpatient basis without local anesthesia.

Once the area to be treated has been cleaned, protective goggles are placed over the eyes and the treatment can begin.

The laser is placed on the skin and passes over the area where the pigmented spot is located.

A light pulse is emitted, which the client feels as a slight tingling sensation.

The laser beam absorbs light energy as it penetrates the skin. The thermal effect of the short light pulses rapidly heats the melanin and separates it from the dermis.

After the treatment, it is normal for the skin to become red, and scabs may form that disappear within a few days.

The client can undergo the next treatment, if necessary, after 4 to 6 weeks.

Immediately after the treatment, the area exposed to the laser will be slightly red.

You can apply a cold compress to the treated area to make you more comfortable and to speed up recovery.

Most clients’ skin calms down completely overnight and they can use standard skin care products and makeup the very next day.

It is important to avoid direct exposure to the sun and tanning beds for a month after treatment, until the skin has fully recovered. After that, it is recommended to use protective creams with SPF 50+ to prevent the spots from reappearing.
