What is LASER PIGMENTATION REMOVAL – Medium Area?
Laser pigmentation removal for medium areas is a cosmetic procedure that uses laser technology to target and reduce pigmentation in the skin. This can include age spots, sun spots, freckles, or other types of skin discolorations. The term “medium area” typically refers to the size of the area being treated, which might include regions such as the face, neck, or hands—larger than small, targeted spots but not as extensive as full body treatments.
How does LASER PIGMENTATION REMOVAL – Medium Area works?
The first step involves a consultation with a dermatologist or laser technician who will examine the skin and discuss the goals and expectations of the treatment. This is also when the size of the medium area to be treated is defined, and the type of laser to be used is selected based on the skin type and pigmentation issue. Before the procedure, the skin is usually cleansed, and a cooling gel might be applied. In some cases, a topical anesthetic may also be used to minimize discomfort.
What can I expect during the treatment?
A cooling gel might be applied to the treatment area to help the laser light penetrate the skin more effectively and to protect the skin’s surface.
The laser device is moved over the treatment area. You might feel a snapping sensation, like a rubber band hitting the skin, each time the laser pulses. It’s generally quick, and while it can be uncomfortable, it’s usually not painful.As the laser targets the pigments, you might feel warmth or mild burning sensations. Cooling methods, such as air cooling from the laser device, are often used to keep you comfortable.The duration of the laser session can vary depending on the size of the area being treated but generally lasts from a few minutes to about half an hour.
How many sessions will I need?
Typically, most people need between 2 to 6 sessions for effective pigmentation removal, with each session spaced about 4 to 8 weeks apart. This spacing allows the skin to heal and also provides time to assess how well the pigmentation is responding to the treatment.
It’s best to consult with a dermatologist or a trained laser technician who can examine your skin and give you a more personalized estimate based on your specific conditions and treatment goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is laser pigmentation removal?
Laser pigmentation removal is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses laser technology to target and diminish pigmented lesions on the skin, such as sunspots, age spots, and freckles.
How does laser pigmentation removal work?
The procedure involves using specific wavelengths of laser light that are absorbed by the pigments (melanin) in the skin. The laser energy causes the pigment to break down into smaller particles, which are then naturally removed by the body’s immune system.
Is laser pigmentation removal painful?
Patients often describe the sensation as similar to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. Discomfort is usually minor and can be managed with topical anesthetics or cooling methods during the procedure.
What can I expect after the treatment?
Immediately after treatment, you may experience redness and swelling, similar to sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few hours to days. The treated area may darken before it peels or flakes off over the following weeks.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on the type and depth of pigmentation, as well as your skin type. Typically, 2 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart are needed for optimal results.
What are the side effects of laser pigmentation removal?
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and darkening of the treated area. Less common risks include blistering, scarring, or changes in skin texture.
