Are you fed up with dark spots, sun damage, or uneven skin tone? Laser pigment removal may be the secret to a clearer, more radiant complexion.
At The Glow Clinic in Bellevue, WA, our licensed medical estheticians use this advanced laser treatment to safely and precisely target unwanted pigmentation with minimal downtime.
What Is Laser Pigment Removal?
Melanin is the pigment responsible for your skin's color. An overproduction of melanin can lead to discoloration, such as sunspots, liver spots, or melasma.
Laser pigment removal is a non-invasive service that breaks down excess melanin in the skin with concentrated light energy.
During treatment, the laser emits light pulses that are absorbed by pigmented areas. This causes the pigment to shatter into tiny particles. Over time, your body naturally clears away these particles, leaving the skin looking more even and refreshed.
Issues Laser Pigment Removal Can Treat
This approach is popular for addressing a variety of pigmentation concerns, including:
- Sunspots
- Age spots
- Freckles
- Melasma
- Hyperpigmentation from acne
- Inconsistent skin tone
Laser pigment removal is commonly used on areas that receive the most sun exposure, such as the face, chest, hands, and shoulders.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Before your treatment begins, your esthetician will cleanse your skin and provide protective eyewear.
Most people say the sensation is like a series of quick snaps against the skin, often compared to the feeling of a rubber band. The service is generally well-tolerated, and sessions last between 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment location.
Mild redness, swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation may occur afterward, but these effects usually subside within a few days. As your skin heals, the treated pigment will darken and then gradually fade away.
Depending on your skin type and the severity of the pigmentation, you may need multiple sessions for the best outcomes.
Benefits of Laser Pigment Removal
People choose laser pigment removal because it offers:
- Targeted treatment with minimal damage to the surrounding skin
- Improvements with little to no downtime
- Lasting results with proper sun protection and skincare maintenance
Is Laser Pigment Removal Right for You?
If you're bothered by dark spots or uneven pigmentation and want a non-surgical option to improve your skin's appearance, laser pigment removal may be a good choice. Ideal candidates are those with healthy skin who are committed to sun protection and a consistent skincare routine.
This solution is safe for many skin types and tones. If you have questions or concerns, though, your esthetician at The Glow Clinic will address them and recommend a personalized treatment plan.
