Question 1

How is this different from IPL?

Accepted Answer

Laser pigment removal uses a specific wavelength focused on the exact lesion — it's more powerful and more precise, making it effective for deeper or more stubborn pigmentation that IPL can't fully treat.

Question 2

What happens to the treated spot?

Accepted Answer

The spot will darken over the first few days (this is normal — it means the laser reached the pigment). Over the following 1–2 weeks, the darkened pigment will flake off naturally, revealing clearer skin beneath.

Question 3

What happens to the treated spot?

Accepted Answer

The spot will darken over the first few days (this is normal — it means the laser reached the pigment). Over 5–10 days, the darkened area rises to the surface and flakes off, revealing clearer skin beneath.

Question 4

Is one session enough?

Accepted Answer

Many sun spots and age spots clear significantly in one session. Deeper or more resistant pigmentation may require 2–3 treatments. You'll receive a realistic timeline at your consultation.

Question 5

Can it treat melasma?

Accepted Answer

Melasma is more complex than typical sun spots and often requires a comprehensive approach combining laser treatment with topical products and strict sun protection. See our dedicated Melasma Treatment page for details.
