Treatment of skin pigmentation using laser

Skin pigmentation is a condition that occurs when the skin produces too much melanin pigmentation (which determines skin color) and causes dark patches on the face. This is a skin condition that is common to everyone.

Usually, you can control skin pigmentation with topical products containing skin lightening ingredients such as hydroquinone or retinoids. In addition, you should use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen to remove excess pigmentation and prevent darker skin.

However, these treatments are temporary and can only improve parasitic melasma symptoms in cases such as mixed pigmentation (including epidermis and dermis).

Laser treatment for melasma

Laser is a melasma cure method, which is effective for severe melasma cases but is only applied when other measures are ineffective or when the patient needs to be treated promptly.
High-energy lasers and surface lasers can help eliminate blotches, but the procedure is too strong for the skin and can cause damage, resulting in more pigmentation and more. Pigmentation conditions get worse.

The lower energy laser system shows the best treatment for melasma in many types and the color of the skin is a laser splinter. The Fraxel system (brand name for one of the first fractional lasers) has been recognized by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for the treatment of hyperpigmentation.

These lasers disrupt the laser beam into small particles that make treatment more effective without burns and no resort time. However, laser fractional is very expensive, costing around 22 million VND or more and should be done 3-4 times in 3-6 months to be effective. There is also a recent report that the number of patients with recurrent melanoma increases.

Incorporating super abrasive therapies

In combination, effective treatment should be low energy and gentle on the skin because irritation and inflammation can worsen the condition. Under this requirement, doctors and dermatologists recommend that patients seek super-ablative combination therapy, including low-energy lasers and skin care suppressant pigments. This therapy is painless, non-invasive, safe for all skin types and patients can return to their daily routine instantly.

Laser therapy is combined

This is a new laser therapy with super skin abrasion, followed by a low-powered YAG Q-switched laser. The patient then initiates daily skincare routine with hydroquinone and sunscreen.

This treatment uses lasers with energy low enough not to heat the skin but high enough to break down the pigment. However, you need to find a salon or hospital with a team of skilled doctors and experienced with lasers for laser faces.

Skincare results after laser treatment

To ensure optimal care and long-term effectiveness, you need to minimize exposure to the sun. You should choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ and contain 2 active zinc oxide and titanium oxide.

Can pregnant and lactating women have laser treatments?

Pregnant women and lactating women are advised not to use any form of melasma. The reason is that melasma and laser creams can pose a risk to the fetus and newborn. However, you can count on cosmetic makeup to hide a temporary plaque.

Undeniably this laser is quite effective in the treatment of melasma. However, you need to visit a reputable beauty salon to see the skin condition carefully, then the doctor will determine the type of laser that suits your own skin type!
