Advance Laser treatments for Pigmentation
At Shades Dermatology, we offer advanced laser technologies for the treatment of pigmentation, including the Lutronic Derma V and the Cutera enlighten® Pico Laser, allowing treatment plans to be tailored to different pigment types, depths, and skin concerns.
The Lutronic Derma V laser is equipped with both 532 nm KTP and 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelengths and is designed to target melanin, the pigment responsible for brown spots and uneven skin tone. By focusing on excess melanin within the skin, the laser gently breaks down pigment, which is then naturally cleared by the body over time. This process helps improve pigmentation while preserving the surrounding skin, with minimal downtime.
The Cutera enlighten® Pico Laser uses ultra-short picosecond pulses to shatter pigment into tiny particles, enabling the body to remove it more efficiently. Its advanced technology allows for the treatment of a range of pigmentation concerns while minimising heat exposure to surrounding tissues.
Conditions commonly treated include:
Sunspots and age spots (solar lentigines)
Diffuse brown and red sun damage (poikiloderma)
Uneven skin tone, large pores and superficial pigmentation
Certain forms of post-inflammatory pigmentation
Melasma.
Birthmarks like: Café-au-lait spots, Naevus of Ota, naevus of Ito and naevus of Hori (Dermal melanocytosis).
Selected dermal and mixed pigmentation disorders
Acne scars & post acne hyperpigmentation.
Tattoo removal
The most appropriate laser will depend on your skin type, the nature and depth of the pigmentation, and your individual treatment goals. During your consultation, your dermatologist will assess your skin and recommend the most suitable treatment approach.
The number of treatments required varies depending on the type and severity of pigmentation, individual skin characteristics, and desired outcomes. Multiple sessions are often recommended to achieve optimal results.
