Pigmentation Treatment

There is typically no downtime for pico laser treatments. You can return to daily activities immediately after a treatment session.

No, melasma and hyperpigmentation differ mainly by the cause of the condition. Melasma is generally caused by hormonal changes within the body.

After the laser pigmentation removal treatment, the patient might experience redness of the skin and light crust that disappears after 5-7 days. However, the recovery time for laser pigmentation removal treatments are dependent on the condition of the patient and their ability to heal.

While the treatment may cause certain side effects such as redness of the skin and crusting post treatment, the laser hyperpigmentation treatment is a safe procedure.

To let the effects of the pigmentation treatments last for a long time, it is essential to properly take care of your skin after and in between treatments.

These are some precautions to take:

• Use sunscreen of SPF 30+ or higher, and avoid sun exposure to prevent light or dark spots from reappearing.
• Avoid hot baths and excessive exercise.
• Avoid swimming pools or spas with chlorine and chemicals directly after your treatment.
• Keep your skin moisturised.
• Avoid picking at your skin.
