01
What it is
Laser pigmentation treatment uses carefully selected light energy to target certain areas of excess pigment within the skin. Laser and light-based treatments can be used for concerns such as hyperpigmentation, brown spots and sun-related pigmentation in appropriately selected patients.
Different pigmentation conditions behave differently. The treatment that may be appropriate for a discrete sun spot may not be appropriate for melasma or post-inflammatory pigmentation.
02
What can laser pigmentation treatment address?
Laser treatment may be considered for selected pigment concerns after diagnosis and skin-tone assessment.
Selected flat brown spots related to cumulative sun exposure may respond to appropriate laser or light-based treatment.
Discrete areas of excess pigmentation may be considered for targeted treatment after confirming the diagnosis.
Selected areas of irregular pigmentation may be treated as part of a personalised skin-tone correction plan.
Persistent post-acne pigmentation may be considered for treatment after acne and pigment type are assessed.
Pigmentation areas may be evaluated to determine whether a pigment-targeting laser is appropriate.
Laser or light procedures may support melasma treatment, but caution is needed as irritation can worsen pigmentation.
WHO MAY NEED FURTHER ASSESSMENT
Some pigmentation concerns need careful evaluation before laser treatment.
Pigmentation has not yet been properly diagnosed
Melasma is active or repeatedly worsening
There is recent tanning or significant sun exposure
Previous procedures caused post-inflammatory darkening
The treatment area has active irritation or infection
03
What to expect
Pigmentation assessment
The colour, pattern, depth and likely cause of pigmentation are evaluated before treatment selection. For melasma, dermatologists may use tools such as dermoscopy or a Wood’s lamp to better understand pigment depth.
Personalised laser treatment
An appropriate laser or light-based approach is selected according to the pigmentation type, treatment area and skin tone rather than using one setting for every patient.
Healing & pigment monitoring
Skin response, darkening or lightening, and improvement in pigmentation are reviewed over time. Laser procedures can cause temporary redness and may also cause unwanted pigment changes, making follow-up important.

Physician note
Treat the pigment only after understanding why it is there.
Laser treatment can be useful for selected pigmentation concerns, but more energy does not mean better results. With Indian skin, thoughtful diagnosis, conservative parameters and post-treatment sun protection are especially important.

Questions
It uses selected laser or light energy to target certain areas of excess pigmentation within the skin. Laser/light therapy can be used for concerns including hyperpigmentation and sun-damaged skin.
Depending on the device and diagnosis, lasers may be considered for selected brown spots, sun spots and other hyperpigmentation concerns.
Laser or light procedures may sometimes be used as part of melasma treatment, but they are not automatically the first choice. Treatment needs to consider skin tone, pigment depth and triggers because irritation can worsen melasma.
It can be suitable for selected patients, but darker skin contains more melanin and has a greater risk of post-treatment pigmentation changes. Careful laser selection and treatment parameters are therefore important.
There is no fixed number for every pigmentation condition. The number depends on the pigment type, device, treatment area and individual response.
Patients may experience warmth or mild discomfort depending on the laser and treatment area. Comfort measures vary according to the procedure.
Yes. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can occur following laser procedures, particularly in deeper skin tones, which is why appropriate patient selection and aftercare matter.
Not necessarily. Results depend on the cause. Sun exposure, inflammation, hormonal influences and conditions such as melasma can contribute to recurrence. AAD notes that sunlight can stimulate more pigment production in melasma.
Yes. Sun protection is an important part of pigmentation management because UV exposure can contribute to darkening and recurrence.

PERSONALISED PIGMENT LASER CARE
Not every dark spot needs the same laser.
Pigmentation can sit at different depths and develop for very different reasons. Melasma, post-inflammatory pigmentation and discrete sun spots should not automatically be treated in the same way. AAD recommends tailoring pigmentation treatment to factors including skin tone and pigment depth.
At Averah, planning focuses on your pigmentation type, skin tone, pigment depth and tendency toward post-treatment darkening before deciding whether laser therapy is appropriate.
