Pigmentation
our treatment approach
A particular type of pigmentation condition common among Asian Skin is Melasma. It affected women more than men. It is well known to be hormonally related. But most Asian women around 40 years of age will have several kinds of pigmentation on the face. They will include sun-induced freckles and other spots. There may also be nevi of Ota.
When we treat pigmentary changes, we approach it in 2 steps:
- IPL is firstly used to clear away any superficial pigmentation that are there. Usually in one session, most of the pigments that can come off would have come off.
- The second step is to follow up with a peel if there is residual pigmentation. These are usually Melasma or Nevi of Ota. The peel we use is Cosmelan. We can also use Triluma if the residual pigmentation after IPL is minimal.
With these 2 steps we can clear almost any pigmentation on the skin. We have never had to resort to stronger lasers that may cause injury to the skin.
