Hyperpigmentation Laser Treatment
The Benefits Of Laser Therapy for Hyperpigmentation
Unlike traditional treatments that only address superficial concerns, yellow laser therapy penetrates deep into the skin, targeting the excess melanin responsible for melasma, hyperpigmentation, dark spots, sun spots and liver spots. It utilizes energy to gently break down these pigmented areas without harming the surrounding skin. This process stimulates the skin’s natural renewal, leading to a gradual lightening of these unwanted marks. Yellow laser therapy also encourages collagen production, improving skin texture and overall tone.

Treatment Process
What to Expect for
Hyperpigmentation Laser Treatment
Expected Treatment Results
Over a series of treatments, typically spaced a few weeks apart, you can expect to see a gradual fading of hyperpigmentation and melasma within the first couple of weeks. As you progress through weeks 3 and 4, you’ll notice continued lightening of pigmented areas and a visible improvement in your skin tone’s evenness. By weeks 5 and 6, you can anticipate further reduction in pigmentation and a noticeable enhancement in skin texture and radiance. With proper aftercare and maintenance treatments, you can enjoy long-lasting results and sustained improvement in skin clarity and tone. Individual results may vary.
Before Treatment
Our initial consultation begins with a thorough assessment of individual needs and skin concerns related to hyperpigmentation, melasma, dark spots, sun spots, and liver spots. One of our experienced medical aestheticians will discuss treatment goals, medical history, and expectations to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to each client’s unique needs.
During Treatment
The treatment process involves several steps to target pigmentation concerns effectively. After cleansing the skin, the QuadroSTARPro Yellow Laser is applied to the affected areas, delivering precise wavelengths of light to break down excess melanin, reduce pigmentation, and promote skin rejuvenation. Additionally, complementary technologies, such as the QuardroSTARPro cooling device, may enhance treatment outcomes, minimize discomfort, and maximize safety.
After Treatment
Clients can expect immediate effects post-treatment, including a sensation of warmth or slight redness in the treated areas. While some may experience mild, temporary side effects such as slight swelling or sensitivity, these typically subside within a few hours to days, revealing a more even and brighter skin tone.
Treatment Aftercare
To optimize and prolong the benefits of laser therapy for pigmentation, clients are provided with comprehensive post-treatment care instructions. Aftercare may include gentle skincare routines, diligent sun protection measures, and avoiding harsh products or procedures that could irritate the skin.
Follow-up Treatment
While clients may notice improvements after just one session, a series of treatments is often recommended for sustained and optimal results. The number of sessions required varies depending on the severity of pigmentation and individual response to treatment. Regular follow-up sessions are essential to monitor progress, adjust treatment plans as needed, and maintain long-term skin health and clarity.
QuadroStar Pro Yellow Laser
The QuadroSTAR Pro Yellow Laser, developed by Asclepion, a pioneer in medical laser technology, stands out for its effectiveness and adaptability in treating pigmentation concerns. Its precise wavelength targets melanin responsible for hyperpigmentation, melasma, dark spots, sun spots, and liver spots.
Precision Targeting
The QuadroStarPro Yellow Laser's adjustable spot sizes and energy levels enable precise targeting of both individual areas of hyperpigmentation, melasma, dark spots, sun spots and liver spots. This ensures that treatment is customized to each client's specific needs, maximizing effectiveness while minimizing the impact on surrounding healthy skin.
Collagen Stimulation for Skin Rejuvenation
The laser's yellow wavelength not only targets pigmentation concerns but also stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. This helps to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of uneven pigmentation, and promote a smoother, more radiant complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions about our
Hyperpigmentation Laser Treatment
Hyperpigmentation laser treatment is a non-invasive procedure that uses targeted laser energy to reduce the appearance of dark spots, melasma, sun damage, and other pigmentation concerns.
The laser energy is absorbed by the excess melanin in the skin, breaking it down into smaller particles that the body can naturally eliminate. This results in a lightening of the pigmented areas.
Laser treatment is effective for various types of hyperpigmentation, including melasma, sun spots, age spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and freckles.
Most people experience minimal discomfort during the treatment. Some describe it as a sensation of warmth or a light snapping feeling. Topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to minimize any discomfort.
The number of sessions required will depend on the severity of the hyperpigmentation, the type of laser used, and individual skin response. Typically, a series of 3-6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended.
Downtime is typically minimal. You may experience some redness and swelling immediately after the treatment, but this usually subsides within a few hours to days.
In rare cases, if the treatment is not performed correctly or if proper aftercare is not followed, there is a risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Choosing an experienced provider and following their instructions is crucial.
