Laser Treatment To Remove Pigmentation, Dark Spots And Uneven Skin Tone

Dr. Ravali, a senior consultant dermatologist with Oliva Skin & Hair Clinic, shares her valuable insights on laser treatment to remove pigmentation, dark spots and uneven skin tone. As per the doctor, average modern day tends to take a toll on our skin and hair, with causes ranging from stress, pollution and sun exposure. Dermotologists everywhere have seen an increase in clients looking to improve their dull and pigmented skin. These issues also tend to affect skin texture, leading to open pores and scars. There are several treatments available to improve the skin tone and texture, however laser toning is by far the most effective when it comes to longevity of the treatment.
Laser toning is a cosmetic treatment that uses the heat emitted from a laser and vaporizes the upper layers of damaged skin. It also targets the pigment and resolves the dark marks and spots. It prompts the skin to produce collagen, resulting in healthy and younger-looking skin.
The doctor explains the benefits of choosing Oliva as a service provider for the laser treatment. Oliva uses the latest FDA-approved technology within strict safety protocols. Here, the doctors have expertise in dealing with all Indian skin types. These standards allow Oliva to offer treatment to anyone above 18 years of age looking to improve their skin. Apart from pregnant and breastfeeding women, anyone can be considered a suitable candidate. Every individual will receive instructions unique to their own case at a consultation, however the doctor states certain steps that one can take to prepare for laser toning. These include avoiding any parlour services for at least a week prior to your session. Avoiding home remedies for 3 days before your session. Moisturizing your skin thoroughly. The dermatologist, at Oliva, may also ask the patient to stop their skin priming cream 4-5 days prior to the session.
Upon booking an appointment, the target area is evaluated for any pre-existing skin condition, such as actyl acne and inflammation. Based on each unique case, a customized plan is made detailing the number of sessions required. An average session lasts for around 45 minutes and typically 6-8 sessions are recommended for long-term results, but this depends on the concern being treated and amount of pigment for each individual. The session begins with use of a cleanser on area to be treated. In the first phase, a carbon emission is applied and treated with a laser. This helps to efficiently remove the dead skin and debris from the pores and also some layers of damaged skin. The second phase involves removing more surface layers and inducing collagen, which helps improve the texture of the skin. This phase also targets the dark pigment deposits associated with tan, freckles and dark spots, breaking them into smaller particles which naturally pass through the bloodstream and are disposed. The session ends with a cold cup dress, an application of moisturizer and a sunscreen. The treatment is virtually painless with only slight pricking and mild heat sensation, mainly during the first phase with carbon mask. There are no major side effects from the treatment. One may experience some temporary redness and skin sensitivity right after the treatment, but these conditions subside within a few hours. Further cold compresses can control the skin sensitivity as well.
As per the doctor, one can experience the results right after their first session, with a constant improvement over following sessions. Right after the session, the skin may feel slightly more sensitive than usual. Avoid soap, cleanser or face wash for 12 hours. Use lope warm water to wash the face. Makeup should not be applied for 24 hours. Exercise and any major physical activity should be avoided to prevent any sweat build-up. Do not picket or rub your skin to avoid further skin irritation. Do not undergo any parlour services for a minimum of 7 days. Avoid using home remedies for at least 5 days post the treatment. Sun exposure should be restricted. Apply a sunscreen and reapply it every 3 hours. In case of any irritation post the treatment, a further cold compress can help control the issue.
