Pigmentation Removal
Treatment Information
Irregular pigmentation is a common cause for patients to consult with us. The most common areas inquired about are the face, neck , chest, arms and legs. There are multiple causes for irregular pigmentation but we see sun spots and hormonal pigmentation (melasma) most often. These two conditions are treated differently. Sun spots or solar lentigos can be treated with IPL, corrective skin care, chemical peels and lasers. Melasma on the other hand can be worsened by many lasers or IPL devices and is most commonly treated with corrective skin care(Obagi) and possibly chemical peels (Cosmelan).
