Gentle and Effective Removal of Pigmentation Spots – Without Pain or Scarring.

​

Brown spots on the face or hands can be bothersome, but with today’s advanced laser technology, they can be treated safely, gently, and without leaving scars.

What Is Laser and IPL Treatment for Pigmentation?

Laser and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) are modern, non-invasive treatment methods designed to reduce or eliminate pigmentation irregularities such as age spots, sun spots, melasma, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. By using light-based energy, both technologies specifically target melanin – the pigment responsible for dark spots without damaging surrounding skin.

How Does It Work?

  • The ND:YAG laser emits targeted light at a specific wavelength that penetrates deep into the skin to break down excess melanin in deeper layers.

​

  • IPL/BBL delivers broad-spectrum light pulses ideal for treating more superficial pigmentation.

 

These fragmented pigment particles are then naturally removed by the body's lymphatic system. The combination of both technologies allows for a personalized and highly effective treatment, tailored to the type, depth, and cause of pigmentation.

Benefits of Laser and IPL Treatment for Pigmentation

  • Safe for various types of pigmentation (sun spots, freckles, melasma, etc.).

  • Stimulates skin renewal for a smoother, more radiant complexion.
