Pigmentation is most often caused by sun exposure, aging, hormonal changes, and inflammation that stimulate excess melanin production.
How do you get rid of hyperpigmentation?
Options include laser treatments, topical brighteners, chemical peels, and diligent sun protection. A combination approach tailored to your skin usually works best.
Does laser remove pigmentation permanently?
Laser can dramatically reduce existing pigment, but new spots can form with sun exposure, so ongoing sun protection and maintenance are recommended.
How many sessions are needed to treat pigmentation?
Most people need a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart, depending on the depth and extent of the pigment.

When performed by a trained provider with settings matched to your skin type, laser pigment treatments are considered safe and effective.
