Pigmentation Correction
The goal of pigmentation correction is to get away from undesired skin pigmentation, such as sunspots, age spots, melasma, and other problems related to hyperpigmentation. The aging process, hormone fluctuations, or sun exposure can cause the skin to become uneven in tone and acquire dark spots over time. This treatment helps to eliminate these flaws and restore a fresh look and an even skin tone.
Skin pigmentation occurs due to excessive production of melanin, the pigment that gives our skin, hair, and eyes their color. Among the primary reasons of hyperpigmentation are:
- UV Radiation: Sunspots and early skin aging are caused by prolonged sun exposure without sufficient protection.
- Hormonal Changes: Melasma, or dark spots on the skin that usually appear on the face, can be brought on by pregnancy, hormone therapy, or menopause.
- Aging: The buildup of pigment patches can cause the skin to lose its uniform tone as we age.
- Inflammation or Injury: Inflammatory processes such as acne, injuries, or other conditions can cause pigmentation of the skin.

Dermatological Conditions
Psoriasis and eczema are examples of active dermatological conditions that should be addressed prior to procedure.
Use of Photosensitizing Medications
If you are taking medications that increase sensitivity to light (such as certain antibiotics, acne medications, or herbal supplements like St. John’s Wort), the procedure is contraindicated as it may increase the risk of adverse effects.
Open Wounds or Cuts
The presence of open wounds, cuts, or sores in the treatment area is a contraindication until they are fully healed.
Uncontrolled Diabetes
Individuals with uncontrolled diabetes should avoid the procedure, as their skin may be more prone to complications and slower healing.
Keloid Formation
If you have a history of keloid or hypertrophic scar formation, you should consult with a dermatologist before undergoing the procedure, as laser treatments can potentially exacerbate these conditions.
Blood Clotting Disorders
People with blood clotting disorders or those on anticoagulant therapy should avoid the procedure due to the increased risk of bruising or bleeding.
Recent Use of Chemical Peels or Other Skin Treatments
If you have recently undergone chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or other intensive skin treatments, you should wait until your skin has fully recovered before considering laser pigmentation correction.
Epilepsy
The procedure may not be suitable for individuals with epilepsy, particularly those sensitive to light, as the flashes of light from the laser can potentially trigger a seizure.
Age Restriction
Pigmentation Correction is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. Minors are not eligible for the procedure, as hormonal changes during adolescence can affect hair growth and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
