Frequently Asked Questions
What causes pigmentation?
Sun exposure, hormones (pregnancy, birth control), inflammation (acne scars), aging, and genetics can all trigger excess melanin production and uneven distribution.
How many sessions do I need?
3-6 sessions typically for significant improvement. Stubborn pigmentation or melasma may need more. Your dermatologist will create a customized treatment plan.
Is laser safe for dark skin?
Yes, with appropriate devices (Nd:YAG) and settings. Darker skin needs specialized protocols to avoid post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Disclose your skin type honestly.
Will pigmentation come back?
Without sun protection, yes. Strict SPF 50+ daily is essential for maintaining results. Melasma especially requires ongoing management and may need maintenance treatments.
What's the best treatment for melasma?
A combination approach works best: topical lightening agents plus gentle procedures. Aggressive lasers can actually worsen melasma. This requires specialist expertise.
Can I treat pregnancy-related dark spots?
Wait until after pregnancy and breastfeeding for most treatments. Some topicals are safe—consult your doctor. Pigmentation often improves naturally after hormone levels stabilize.
How long until I see results?
Gradual improvement over 2-8 weeks depending on treatment type. Spots darken first (normal), then flake off to reveal clearer skin. Patience and consistency are key.
Are there side effects?
Common: temporary redness, darkening of spots before they lighten, peeling. Rare: scarring, worsening of pigmentation. Choosing experienced providers minimizes risks significantly.
