Laser Pigmentation Removal

Yes, as every clinic needs a record of a laser patch test been carried out for safety and insurance purposes. A patch test ensures there are no adverse reactions before going ahead with full treatment. Your test is normally performed on an area that is not directly visible to anyone else and you will need to wait for 48h ours before you can go ahead with your first treatment. This is complimentary and carried out during your consultation.

Laser pigmentation removal is generally well-tolerated by most clients. The sensation experienced during the treatment is often compared to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. Some patients might feel a quick, sharp tap, but discomfort is minimal and temporary.

The number of sessions required for optimal results typically ranges from 1 to 2, spaced approximately three weeks apart. The exact number depends on the type and severity of pigmentation, as well as the individual’s skin response to the treatment.

Immediately following the treatment, the treated areas may appear darker and the skin might show some redness or mild swelling. These reactions are normal and indicate the effectiveness of the treatment as the pigmentation begins to break down. These symptoms usually subside within a few days.

Proper aftercare is crucial to ensure the best results and minimise any potential side effects. Clients are advised to avoid sun exposure and to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to the treated areas to protect the skin from UV damage. It is also recommended to use gentle skincare products to avoid irritating the treated skin. Keeping the area clean and avoiding abrasive treatments or chemical-laden products will help the skin heal more effectively.

For 48 hours after treatment, we advise avoiding any further heat on the area, such as hot showers or baths, as well as intense exercise and active skincare products. However, the use of skincare products is advised on an individual basis during the consultation. It’s also important to follow any specific instructions provided by your skin specialist.

Common side effects include temporary changes in pigmentation, mild swelling, and redness, which typically resolve within a few days to weeks. In rare cases, blistering or temporary lightening or darkening of the skin can occur.

Visible improvements are generally noticeable within 3-4 weeks after the treatment as the pigmentation fades and the skin heals. The results can continue to improve with subsequent sessions and proper skincare.

Yes, laser pigmentation removal is safe when performed by qualified practitioners using FDA-approved technology. At Omniya Clinic, we ensure that all treatments meet stringent safety standards and are tailored to the individual’s skin type and pigmentation issues.

While laser treatment can significantly reduce pigmentation, it is possible for new pigmentation to occur, particularly if the skin is exposed to the sun without protection and hormonal changes. Maintaining results involves diligent sun protection and adherence to a prescribed skincare regimen.

A good candidate for laser pigmentation removal is someone who has visible skin pigmentation issues that they wish to correct, with fair to medium skin tone. Our specialists will evaluate your skin condition and medical history during the initial consultation to determine if this treatment is suitable for you.

It is recommended to avoid makeup on the day of the treatment to allow the skin to heal properly. Once any initial redness or swelling has subsided, you may use makeup to cover any lingering discoloration as the skin continues to heal.

To maintain the results of your pigmentation treatment, it is crucial to follow a dedicated skincare routine that includes sun protection. Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding direct sun exposure can help prevent new pigmentation from forming. Regular follow-up treatments may also be recommended to keep your skin looking its best.
