Pigmentation spots laser treatment
For the removal of pigment spots we often choose a laser treatment with the Lutronic Picoplus laser. Here we eliminate the pigments present with the laser, the pigment cell remains intact (therefore a good sun protection is always recommended to avoid new pigmentation spots). The spot is then gradually removed by the body. A few days-weeks after the treatment, it is possible that the spot becomes darker, after which it fades again and finally disappears.
There are other treatment options besides laser treatment depending on the exact indication, including a chemical peel or products.
A combination of treatment and home products is often recommended for even more effective results.
Preparation and aftercare
It is important to avoid sun and tanning both 6 weeks before and after treatment. We also recommend using a sunscreen with high protection factor.
After treatment, the pigment spot may first darken before lightening. It is best to stay away from the skin as much as possible during the recovery period.
