Laser removal of pigment spots

"Pigment spots can now be treated very effectively with the help of a laser."

Pigment spots of different origins exist: liver spots, freckles, age spots.

Many of us are bothered by the disturbing pigment spots that appear on our skin, which can even develop as a result of excessive sun exposure, UV radiation, and chemicals.

How does the laser work for pigment spots?

The laser emits short-term but high-energy pulses on the skin with pigment spots, while they are absorbed in the melanin of the pigment spots and explode them. As a result of the heat, the skin contracts and collagen production increases. The pigment particles explode without heating the skin, thus preventing scar formation. Thus, after the laser pigment spot treatment, the skin surface regenerates quickly, thereby helping the re-formation of the epithelial layer.
