Pigmentation Laser Surgery 

Laser are use to remove the different pigmentation from scars to tattoos, here are the different type of machines. 

The Candela Picoway

The Candela Picoway® uses photoacoustic laser energy rather than photothermal laser energy to shatter the pigment particles, resulting in high peak power within the smallest pulse lengths. The surrounding skin tissue sustains little harm as a result of this. Less energy use and fewer treatments are also made possible by this.

 

Depending on the illness being treated, treatment frequency might range from once per month to once every two to three months.

The Medlite C6 Laser & The Spectra XT Laser 

The MedLite® C6 laser and the Spectra XT laser (Q-switched Nd:YAG laser) is use to target the excess pigment in the skin. Light is absorbed by the unwanted pigment target. The pigments then break up and disappear.

Depending on the type of pigment in your skin, it can be gone in as few as one to two sessions, especially with freckles and sun spots (lentigenes). Certain pigmentation such as Hori’s nevus or certain birthmarks may require repeated treatment sessions. Similarly with tattoos, the average tattoo requires anywhere between 4-8 treatments. Treatment sessions are usually spaced 6 – 8 weeks apart.

PROCEDURE

An anesthetic cream is usually applied on the area to be treated 30 mins before treatment. The procedure itself is rather painless. Occasionally, some patients experience a mild pricking sensation or feel some warmth over the treated area. Depending on the type of pigmentation treated, one may experience some redness or mild crusting after the procedure which can last 3 to 5 days

Side Effects of Pigmentation Laser Surgery

Side effects of laser surgery depend on the type of procedure and the patient's health.

 

The treated area may darken sometimes but will fade within 2-3 months. This is part of the healing process and lightening cream may be prescribed for you to speed up recovery. Other side effects such as skin lightening and scarring are fortunately rare.
