WHAT IS LASER PIGMENT REMOVAL?

Laser pigment removal is a highly effective solution for achieving flawless skin by targeting unwanted pigmentations such as dark spots, acne scarring, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation

By emitting concentrated light energy that is absorbed by melanin in the skin’s pigment cells, this treatment causes them to fragment into smaller particles. Over time, the body naturally eliminates these fragmented pigment particles, resulting in a gradual fading of pigmented areas. 

Our advanced multi-application aesthetic laser systems, including the Fotona SP  Dynamis Pro and Fotona StarWalker Lasers, combine four wavelengths in a single treatment to address various skin concerns, including skin resurfacing, rejuvenation, veins, vascular lesions, and pigmented lesions, providing comprehensive and lasting results for smoother, more eventoned skin.

LASER PIGMENT REMOVAL FOR MELASMA

StarWalker is an excellent choice for treating Melasma specifically because of its unique approach. Unlike other lasers that rely on heat, StarWalker uses photoacoustic energy, generating shockwaves that target the pigment cells responsible for Melasma. This focused treatment ensures that only the affected areas are treated, leaving surrounding skin unharmed

Additionally, the device’s precise delivery system and specially designed hand pieces allow for controlled and targeted treatment, enhancing effectiveness and safety. By breaking down melanin without damaging surrounding tissue, StarWalker offers a gentle yet powerful solution for Melasma, helping patients achieve clearer, more eventoned skin with minimal risk of side effects.

Hyperpigmentation is the darkening of an area of the skin caused by the overproduction of melanin, a pigment that gives color to human hair, skin and eyes. Because melanin lives in the outermost layer of the skin, by nature, dark-skinned people have more melanin and pigment than those of light skin tone.

Melanin also serves as the body’s natural sun protectant. When skin is exposed to long-term UV rays, melanocytes are triggered to produce more melanin. Essentially, a “tan” is the skin working to protect itself, yet often causing hidden damages that can surface years later, in the form of splotchy patches of hyper pigmentation, ones we often refer to as age spots, sun spots or freckles.

The most common disorders of increased pigmentation are melasma (chloasma), solar lentigos (sun spots) and freckles. Solar Lentigos, the brown spots that appear in sun exposed areas like the tops of the hands and face, are the most common pigmentation problem that we treat. All the other disorders can also be treated very successfully with laser  our therapy.

Our latest generation laser is a new age technology that removes all unwanted skin discoloration. For brown age spots, freckles and other brown birthmarks, 1-4 treatments are recommended to accomplish the mission. Our Laser Pigment Removal treatment is non-invasive and has no side effects. The spots removed by laser usually do not recur and but new hyper-pigmentation may form due to sun exposure or other factors.

Other skin hyper-pigmentation conditions such as melasma may require more treatments. Melasma can often comeback; you need to maintain results with homecare products and laser procedures.

After completion of the recommended sessions of Laser Pigment Removal treatment, your skin will be rejuvenated, appearing brighter, cleaner, and smoother.

You will meet with one of our providers for an in depth discussion about your pigmentation. Your skin will be examined and you will be given an opportunity to ask questions and to discuss your medical history. A patch test involves applying the laser to a small area of your skin in order to ascertain you are suitable for the treatment and to check that no adverse reactions are apparent.

  • If you have had a history of herpes simplex virus and are scheduled for facial treatment, prophylactic antiviral therapy may need to be prescribed.
  • The intended treatment area should not be exposed to sunlight or tanning booth light for 14 days prior to treatment.
  • Patients who are taking the medication Accutane should not have a Laser Skin Tightening Treatment until at least six months after they stop using the drug.
  • Please discontinue using any retinol products (Renova, Differin), all alpha hydroxyl acid products (those containing glycolic or lactic acid), salicylic acid products and other topical acne medications such as benzoyl peroxide 1 to 2 weeks prior to your appointment if you are receiving laser hair removal on the areas where those topicals are being applied. This can make your skin more susceptible to damage from the laser.
  • Please avoid antibiotics and/or any photosensitizing medications during the time of treatment.  For patients who are on antibiotics, please allow two weeks from the last day of your medication to come in for an appointment. If taking any hormone stimulating or anti-depression medication, please notify our technician prior to treatment.  Many of these medications can make you photosensitive and susceptible to damage from the lasers.
  • Pregnant women should postpone treatment until after they give birth.
  • If you develop a fever or other illness before your appointment you must reschedule.
  • Patients with tanned or naturally dark skin may experience changes in skin pigmentation after treatment and may not be good candidates for the procedure. You will need a skin evaluation and discuss possible side effects before opting for this procedure.

The eyes are covered with protective eyewear and a thin layer of gel is applied to the treatment area. The laser is placed on your skin and you will be aware of a series of bright flashes as the laser is moved over the treatment area.

Laser pigmentation removal is not painful for the vast majority of people; some report a minor prickling or tingling sensation but this is only while the laser is in action.

  • Most patients experience an initial darkening of the pigmented areas immediately after the treatment. This reaction is a confirmation that the pigment was successfully targeted by the laser. Over the next day or two the pigmented areas develop a mottled brown look that will gradually fade away over the following week or two. Any of the pigmented areas can be easily camouflaged with base while the effects of the laser fades.
  • After your treatment is completed please avoid direct sun exposure on the area which has been treated for 2 weeks.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise and hot environments for at least 24 hours. This is due to the effect which heat can have on capillaries.
  • Your technician may suggest using Aloe Vera or an ice-pack on the area that has been treated to calm down any redness.
  • For most patients, between 1-4 treatments are required depending on the size and damage of the pigmented area, scheduling one treatment every 4 weeks.  A 50-90% reduction in pigmentation can be expected.
  • If the underlying cause of the problem persist, like continual excessive sun exposure, then the pigmentation can reappear over time. Every patient is therefore given a post treatment plan to minimize the chance of the pigmentation returning.

I'm honestly in shock. I have specific hyper pigmentation area that have been treated my several different providers for years with receiving minimal results. After just one treatment with Yody, I'm lost for words with the results, which far exceeded my expectations. So impressed that I recently received a similar treatment on my face with continued treatment on my initial area, to help with melasma and adult cystic acne scars. Yody is amazing. She throughly explains the treatments prior to and step by step during making sure you're aware and comfortable. She's extremely knowledgeable and understands all types of skin. I'm a brown skinned woman with bi-racial West Indian genes and Yody is definitely skilled in treating my skin type. Would definitely recommend Yody as I will be a continued patient.
