The basics

What is pigmentation treatment?

Pigmentation treatment uses lasers and light energy to break down excess melanin or treat visible blood vessels, so the skin can clear it naturally. Treating the right layer with the right wavelength is what makes the difference between fading and rebound.

Because melasma and post-inflammatory pigmentation behave differently, your doctor diagnoses the type first and adjusts energy carefully for Asian and darker skin tones.

What concerns can be treated?
