Laser Pigmentation Removal
A pigmented lesion on your skin is usually brown, black or blue. Their color is due to blood vessels, melanin or from an exogenous source (for example a tattoo pigment).
Pigmentation: What Causes It?
Life cycle and hormonal changes can affect the distribution of color (melanin) in our skin, leading to the appearance of all kinds of pigmented lesions. These include moles, freckles, age spots, or melasma which is a dark, patchy facial discoloration condition. Generally speaking these spots mean that you suffer from *various degrees of damaged skin. Whether it is caused by sun exposure, genetics or other factors, the result is uneven, blemished skin tone. Pigmented skin lesions differ from vascular lesions, which are not caused by sun damage and appear differently under dermatoscopy.
The skin discolouration tends to increase with age, it is governed by a number of factors including:
-
Genetics
-
Skin type
-
Sun exposure
-
Injury to the skin (including burns and post-treatment inflammation)
-
Hormone imbalances
-
Pregnancy
-
Some illnesses and medications
-
Acne
What is Laser Pigmentation Removal?
​
The Q-Switched Nd:YAG pigment laser was created to remove birthmarks, some types of brown growths, and tattoo pigment ink in the colours black, red, and other colours from the skin. A new class of pigment lasers called Q switch lasers may treat tattoos that are green, sky blue, or black as well as superficial pigmentation like freckles and lentigines as well as deeper pigmentation like Hori's and Ota Nevus. Depending on the indication, repeated laser treatments may be necessary. Until the pigment is eliminated or further improvement is deemed doubtful, the tattoo or pigmentation will be treated at intervals of two months or longer.
Q-Switched laser could be used to treat the condition:
-
Removal of tattoos
-
Age stains
-
Freckles
-
Skin resurfacing
-
Taking care of onychomycosis (toenail fungus)
