FAQ

How does it work
Melanin is a substance present in our body that determines our skin colour whether fair or dark complexion. However, the concern is when melanin is abnormally concentrated in one area, giving rise to what is commonly known as pigmentation.

Laser * removes pigmented lesions with the energy of very short-pulsed light. Pigmentation is reduced or removed when the Laser * light is absorbed by the excessive amount of melanin under the skin. Hence, you will achieve a fairer and more even complexion. The Laser * beam also stimulates new collagen growth in the deep layer of the skin. Thus, it rejuvenates and tightens the skin.

How many treatments will I need?
Most common pigmented lesions can be removed with less than 3 sessions. However, if the pigmentation covers a large area, you may prefer to have it treated on several stages to avoid unnecessary discomfort.

Will pigmentation return?
Common pigmentation does not. Though some birthmarks may return after a period of several months to a year, the procedure can be repeated with similar results.

What should I expect during and after the treatment?
Pigment Laser * is not painful. The sensation is akin to the snap of a thin rubber band and you may experience warm sensation during and after the procedure. Any discomfort usually goes away within few hours. Occasionally, there may be pinpoint bleeding due to pigment breakdown associated with the treatment.

What are the post treatment care?
Avoiding strong sunlight and a good sunscreen protection is highly recommended. Treated area should be kept clean but exfoliators or facial scrubs should be avoided for at least 7 days. Post treatment kit will be prescribed to enhance treatment process and provide necessary protection.
