LASER SKIN DEPIGMENTATION

Laser depigmentation with a pico-second Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is a cosmetic treatment that uses laser technology to remove unwanted pigmentation from the skin, such as dark spots, age spots, and hyperpigmentation. This treatment is becoming increasingly popular due to its effectiveness and minimal downtime.

Here are some key points to consider about laser depigmentation with a pico-second Q-switched Nd:YAG laser:

1. How it Works

• The pico-second Q-switched Nd:YAG laser uses very short pulses of light to penetrate the skin and break up pigmented cells.
• The laser targets melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots and other types of pigmentation.
• The fragmented pigmented cells are then naturally eliminated by the body’s immune system, leaving the skin with a more even tone.

2. Benefits of Laser Depigmentation

• Laser depigmentation can effectively treat a range of pigmentation concerns, including dark spots, age spots, and hyperpigmentation.
• It is a non-invasive procedure, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
• The treatment is safe for all skin types and can be used on the face, hands, and other areas of the body.

3. Procedure

• The laser depigmentation procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
• Patients may experience some mild discomfort during the treatment, but this can be managed with topical anesthesia or cooling.
• After the treatment, patients may experience some redness or mild swelling, which typically subsides within a few days.

4. Safety

• The pico-second Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is considered a safe and effective treatment for depigmentation when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner.
• However, as with any medical procedure, there are some risks, including skin irritation, scarring, and changes in skin pigmentation.
• It is important to choose a reputable provider and follow all pre- and post-treatment instructions to minimize the risk of complications.

5. Results

• The results of laser depigmentation are typically visible after a few days to a week, with continued improvement over several weeks as the pigmented cells are eliminated by the body.
• Depending on the severity of the pigmentation, multiple treatments may be required to achieve optimal results.
• With proper sun protection and skincare, the results can last for several months to years.

In summary, laser depigmentation with a pico-second Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is a safe and effective treatment for unwanted pigmentation. If you are interested in this procedure, it is important to consult with our cosmetologist to determine if it is right for you.

Q -Switch laser creates an invisible beam of light that specifically targets the brown pigment or melanin present in the dark spots without having any affect on the surrounding skin. The pigment absorbs the laser energy and gets fragmented within the skin’s tissues, thereby giving you smooth and even skin tone. The laser reaches hard to reach deeper areas where products or peels etc do not reach.
It usually takes about 6-8 sessions for the service to work effectively. It’s a no down-time service and you may return to work or play immediately after.
