Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Pigment Correction.

Most clients see noticeable improvement after one to three sessions, though deeper or long-standing pigmentation may require four to six treatments. Your provider will assess depth and skin type to recommend a personalized plan and optimal treatment intervals.

Treatments are generally well tolerated; most clients describe a snapping sensation with mild warmth. Redness and slight swelling can last a few hours to a few days. Post-care includes sun avoidance and topical soothing products for faster healing.

Results can be long-lasting when pigmentation is removed, but new pigmentation may develop from sun exposure or hormonal changes. Maintenance treatments, diligent sunscreen use, and appropriate skincare reduce recurrence and help preserve results over years.

Melasma is complex; lasers can improve pigmentation but may not fully erase melasma. We combine conservative laser settings with topical agents, chemical peels, and strict sun protection to manage melasma safely and reduce recurrence. Consultation determines best approach.

Ideal candidates are those with focal sunspots, age spots, or PIH seeking non-surgical correction. A qualified provider evaluates skin type, medical history, and expectations to ensure safety, recommend treatment depth, and predict potential outcomes.

Avoid tanning and certain topical retinoids or exfoliants two weeks prior. After treatment, protect skin with broad-spectrum sunscreen, gentle cleansers, and prescribed ointments. Follow provider instructions, avoid picking treated areas, and schedule follow-up for optimal healing and maintenance.
