PIGMENTATION

PIGMENTATION

Pigmentation in general refers to the different coloured spots on the skin. Skin pigmentation affects how your skin looks. It could be something minor like freckles or something bigger like melasma. Our skin is coloured based on the amount of melanin present in the skin. When the special cells that make the melanin are damaged or become unhealthy, they might overproduce or underproduce the amount of melanin in our skin to maintain our skin color. Pigmentation can range from patches on the skin or the entire body.

    • Melasma
    • Freckles
    • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
  • Acne scars and uneven skin texture

    • Atrophic scars (ice-pick, boxcar, rolling scars)
    • Hypertrophic scars
    • Pigmented scars
  • Fine lines and wrinkles

    • Collagen loss-related wrinkles
    • Expression lines

  • Tattoo pigment removal

    • Darker ink colors (black, blue)
    • Resistant pigments (red, yellow, green)

Mild redness may be present for one to three hours after treatment. There is no damage to surrounding tissue, and normal activities can usually be resumed immediately.

Dual Yellow Laser is a multi-wavelength laser treatment that targets and eliminates a range of skin conditions. This laser combines both yellow and green lights to work on most skin types. Most individuals use the Dual Yellow Laser to treat and prevent acne, treat melasma, pigmentation, and vascular lesions as well as brighten the skin.

Dual Yellow Laser treatment has little to no downtime. The Dual Yellow Laser can also be combined with other treatments to enhance and prolong results. However, it is recommended that skincare products that contain acidic properties should be avoided to allow your skin to repair.
