What is LASER PIGMENTATION REMOVAL – Small Area?
Laser pigmentation removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses targeted laser technology to reduce or eliminate pigmentation issues on the skin, such as sun spots, age spots, hyperpigmentation, and certain types of birthmarks. When the term “Small Area” is used, it typically refers to treating a specific, smaller region of the body where pigmentation irregularities are concentrated.
How does LASER PIGMENTATION REMOVAL – Small Area works?
The procedure often involves lasers that emit concentrated light energy in short bursts. These lasers are precise enough to target melanin-rich areas without damaging surrounding tissue.
The light from the laser is absorbed by the pigmented areas, causing the pigment to break down into smaller particles. These particles are then naturally removed from the body through its lymphatic system.A “Small Area” might include regions like the face, hands, or parts of the arms. The exact definition of “small area” can vary by clinic, so it’s typically defined by specific dimensions or common treatment zones.
What can I expect during the treatment?
The laser device will be adjusted based on your specific skin type and the nature of the pigmentation. The practitioner will use the laser to target and treat the pigmented lesions. During the laser application, you may feel a sensation often described as a rubber band snapping against the skin, which can be uncomfortable but is generally bearable.
How many sessions will I need?
On average, many patients require about 2 to 6 sessions, spaced about 4 to 8 weeks apart, to achieve their desired results. However, during your initial consultation, the dermatologist or laser technician will be able to provide a more personalized estimate based on your specific condition and treatment goals. Regular follow-up appointments are also important to assess the effectiveness of the treatment and adjust the plan as needed.
