Pigmentation Removal With Laser

The term laser for pigmentation refers to the use of lasers to lighten the appearance of pigmentation in various areas of the body. This treatment is referred to as a therapeutic laser resurfacing or TRS.

Dermatologists and plastic surgeons often use this procedure because it allows them to treat patients with any type of skin disease, infection, or birthmark. This is done to treat small bumps or other places that the skin’s collagen fibres may have broken or weakened.

Laser for Pigmentation focuses on melasma, freckles, age spots, acne scars, and sun damage with effective and safe laser or IPL pigmentation treatments.

Pigmentation enhances how old we look much more than wrinkles.

It can effectively and safely minimise the appearance of pigmentation, freckles, and after-trauma pigmentation like age spots and acne scars. Laser pigmentation removal helps in treating these conditions by fragmenting and targeting the chosen imperfection without creating any damage to the tissue surrounding the skin.

What Is Pigmentation?

Pigmentation signifies coloring. Skin pigmentation disorders influence the color of the skin. Your skin gets its color from a pigment known as melanin. When these cells become damaged or damaged, it impacts melanin production. Some pigmentation disorders affect only spots of skin.

Types of pigmentation

While increased pigmentation isn’t harmful, it may be a sign of another health condition. One of the types of pigmentation is melasma, which is thought to result from hormonal changes and might grow during pregnancy.

Regions of pigmentation can occur on almost any region of the human body, but they seem most commonly on the gut and face. Also referred to as liver stains or solar lentigines, sunspots are typical.

They are associated with excessive sun exposure with time. Normally, they look like spots on areas exposed to sunlight, such as the face and hands. This is a consequence of inflammation or injury to the skin. A frequent cause of the sort is acne.

What causes pigmentation?

  • Sun harm
  • Genetics
  • Hormones/Pregnancy
  • Skin Care trauma/Injury
  • Birthmarks
  • Environmental vulnerability
  • Environmental changes
  • Friction
  • Trauma, medicines and medical conditions

Sun exposure is the leading cause of hyperpigmentation because it is sunlight that activates the creation of melanin in the first place. Melanin acts as the own skin’s natural sunscreen by shielding you from harmful rays, and that’s the reason why folks tan in sunlight. But excessive sunlight exposure can interrupt this process, resulting in hyperpigmentation.

How does laser pigmentation removal work?

Laser Pigmentation Removal functions to safely and effectively reduce the appearance of freckles, pigmentation, and post-trauma pigmentation such as acne scars and age spots. The laser targets only the pigmented lesion in the skin that absorbs the light, without damaging the surrounding skin.

The laser heats up and shatters the pigment. The pigment is then attracted to the surface without damaging the surrounding tissues. Once attracted to the surface, the pigmented lesions will dry or fade and flake off the treated region, leaving skin with an even complexion and tone.
