FAQs

What is pigmentation correction?

Pigmentation correction refers to the process of treating and reducing irregularities in skin colouration caused by hyperpigmentation, such as dark spots, sun damage, melasma, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

What types of pigmentation can be corrected?

Pigmentation correction can address different types of pigmentation issues, including age spots, freckles, sun spots, birthmarks, and hyperpigmentation caused by hormonal changes or scarring.

Is pigmentation correction a permanent solution?

While pigmentation correction treatments can significantly reduce the appearance of pigmentation issues, they may not provide a permanent solution. Maintenance treatments and proper sun protection are crucial for long-lasting results.

How many sessions are required for pigmentation correction?

The number of sessions required varies depending on the severity of the pigmentation issue and the chosen treatment method. Multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results.

Can pigmentation correction treatments be combined with other procedures?

In some cases, pigmentation correction treatments can be combined with other cosmetic procedures like chemical peels or microdermabrasion to enhance overall skin rejuvenation. Your skincare specialist can advise on the best approach for your specific needs.

How long does a treatment take?

Patients should expect to be in the office for about 1 hour for the treatment. While the actual treatment itself only lasts for about 20 minutes, between checking in, going over treatment consents, and icing your skin post-treatment, patients will be in the office for about 1 hour.

What are the side effects?

Common side effects include redness of the skin, swelling of the treated area, and moderate irritation similar to the feeling produced by a mild sunburn. In rare cases involving laser skin resurfacing, side effects such as burning, scarring, or a change in the pigmentation of the skin have occurred.
