Laser Pigmentation Removal

LASER PIGMENTATION REMOVAL FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Does laser pigmentation removal hurt?

  During laser pigmentation removal, you may experience a slight tingling, or warm sensation on the skin, which is similar to being snapped by a rubber band. However, the sensation is brief and usually subsides quickly. Generally, the treatment is relatively painless, and well tolerated.

• Is laser treatment suitable for everyone?

  Individuals with darker skin tones, or those who are currently using certain medications, may not be ideal candidates for laser pigmentation removal. When you visit us for your consultation and have your skin assessed by us, we will be able to give you a better idea of whether or not laser treatment is the most appropriate course of action for you. If it’s not, we can prescribe a medical-grade ZO Skin Health product that also helps reduce pigmentation issues. It could be a good alternative.

• How soon will I see the results?

  Typically, most patients notice a significant improvement in the appearance of their skin after their first session of laser pigmentation removal. However, it may take up to 3 to 6 sessions to achieve optimal results, depending on the severity of your pigmentation issue. After each session, you may notice a gradual reduction in the pigmentation spots as the body’s natural healing processes take place.

• How long do the results last?

  The longevity of your results depends on several factors, especially your continued extent of sun exposure, and your use of sunscreen. To maintain the results of laser pigmentation removal, it is crucial to take proper care of your skin and follow our post-treatment care instructions. Typically, the results of laser treatment can last for several months to a year. It is important to note that maintenance treatment may be required to maintain the desired outcome.

• Are there any side-effects?

  The most common side effect of laser pigmentation removal is redness and swelling in the treated area. This is temporary and subsides within a few hours to a couple of days.
