Laser skin lightening - All that you wanted to know from your Dermatologist
Pigmentation is a common skin concern today. Many times due to stress, sedentary lifestyle and over work, skin may lose its glow and become dull. Uneven skin tone is often the result of a combination of factors - bad nutritional choices, improper skin care routine and lack of sun protection. Laser treatment for skin lightening is a very safe procedure done in our clinic in Whitefield, Bengaluru. In this blog, I address all the commonly asked questions about laser skin lightening
Q-1) What is Laser Skin Lightening?
Ans: Pigmentation can be made lighter by various methods - including topical treatments (using creams or ointments) and oral medications. But sometimes the level of pigmentation in your skin may not be shallow enough for treating it with these types of tools, which require a modality that goes into deeper layers without any side effects .
When we talk about laser therapies , most people think immediately about Q switched , Nd :YAG lasers because they're one of the many popular options available today.
A laser targeting pigment at a depth of 1064 nm wavelength can be used to reduce deep seated pigmentation without side effects, making this an ideal method for those looking not only fair but also other shades in between.
Q- 2) What kind of laser is good for skin lightening treatment?
Ans: The Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is an excellent choice for skin lightening treatment because it can target both superficial and deep pigmentation. The longer wavelength (1064 nm) works well on people with dark complexions, while 532 nm will be more effective if you have lighter colored hair or feathers that need removing from your face!
Q- 3) What is the mechanism of Laser skin lightening?
Ans: The laser skin lightening process is both photo-thermal and acoustic. It heats up pigment molecules, which then break apart to remove the pigments from your body forever!
Q-4) Is laser skin treatment permanent?
Ans: The laser practically removes pigment, so you can be certain that your skin will never again have a dark spot on it. Unlike other procedures like chemical peels which may not achieve permanent results because of the dead cells buildup and accumulation in some places over time--laser skin lightening is finally here to save us!
Q- 5) Is laser skin lightening safe?
