Laser light energy is used in many areas of medicine, including dermatology. With the help of our team at Dermed Clinic, many men and women have the opportunity to rejuvenate their appearance using laser solutions. This includes pigmentation removal with laser light energy. Dr. Muniandi Velayuthan and his team in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, can answer many questions our patients have often asked about this treatment over the years.
What is laser pigmentation removal?
Laser pigmentation removal is a noninvasive procedure that utilizes concentrated beams of light to target and break down pigmented spots on your skin, such as sunspots, freckles, or age spots. It is a great way to address uneven skin tone and certain imperfections of the face.
Does laser pigmentation removal hurt?
Most of our patients at Dermed Clinic describe the sensation during treatment as a quick snap, like a small rubber band flick. Most manage it well, though for extra comfort, many clinics offer numbing creams to keep you feeling calm and cool.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends greatly on various factors. Some of our patients see great results after just one session for smaller or lighter pigmentation. However, more stubborn spots may need two to four treatments. Dr. Velayuthan will guide you on what’s best for your unique skin.
Are the results permanent?
In a way, once the pigmentation is removed, it typically does not return. However, new pigmentation can form over time due to excess sun exposure and ageing. A good sunscreen is your skin’s best friend to maintain those clear-as-day results, and regular treatments can keep your skin looking flawless!
Who is this treatment suitable for?
Laser pigmentation removal works best for patients with light to medium skin tones and darker pigmented spots. It is always a good idea to check with a certified professional like our team at Dermed Clinic to see if you are the perfect candidate.
What can I expect after the treatment?
At first, you might notice some redness and slight darkening of the treated spots. Do not worry, since this is part of the healing process. These areas will fade over the next two weeks, leaving you with a radiant, even complexion.
Is there anything I can’t do after the treatment?
Protecting your skin is key! Avoid direct sun exposure, skip the saunas, and hold off on harsh scrubs or skincare products for a few days. Remember to apply high-SPF sunblock every day to protect your skin from the sun’s UV rays and further pigmentation problems.
