Laser Hyperpigmentation Treatment in Wayne, PA

Many people have hyperpigmentation, which is a prevalent cosmetic issue referring to darker areas that appear on the skin. These red or brown spots can pop up on the face, neck, or body, and tend to range in shape and size. Pigmentation problems on the skin might also be a result of acne scarring and sun spots from concerns such as melasma, eczema, and psoriasis. Board-certified internal medicine physician Dr. Xiaobin Li and her team routinely treat this common skin concern at Everest Medspa. We offer two great treatment options to treat hyperpigmentation:

• PicoSure: A treatment that converts laser energy into pressure, which breaks down pigmentation and begins the process of flushing it out of the body.
• Pico Genesis: Also a laser treatment, it uses laser light to shatter pigmentation and remodel the surface of the skin.

With either of these technologies, we can help renew the appearance of your complexion and reduce the look of dark spots. Contact our Wayne or Havertown, PA office to learn more.

Don't let hyperpigmentation hold you back. Experience the transformative benefits of Hyperpigmentation Treatment at Everest MedSpa and reveal your radiant, even-toned skin. These benefits include:

• Highly Effective: Our state-of-the-art laser technology effectively targets and reduces hyperpigmentation, including age spots, sun spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
• Noninvasive: The treatment is non-surgical and noninvasive, requiring little to no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately after the session.
• Precision Targeting: The laser precisely targets pigmented areas, leaving surrounding skin unaffected, resulting in minimal discomfort.
• Stimulates Collagen Production: In addition to reducing pigmentation, the laser treatment stimulates collagen production, promoting smoother, healthier skin.
• Quick Sessions: The procedure is relatively quick, typically lasting 15-30 minutes per session, making it convenient for those with busy schedules.
• Gradual, Long-lasting Results: Over a series of sessions, you'll notice a gradual improvement in your skin's tone and texture, with results that can last for several months.

Hyperpigmentation can occur due to a number of factors. At Everest Medspa, candidates for laser hyperpigmentation treatment may be looking to reduce the appearance of:

• Sun spots
• Age spots
• Acne scarring
• Melasma

During an initial consultation at our facility, our skilled aesthetic team can evaluate the current condition of your skin in order to determine if you would be an ideal candidate for treatment. This treatment can be effective for most skin types and tones.

Prior to your laser hyperpigmentation session with either PicoSure or Pico Genesis at Everest Medspa, we'll perform a skin assessment and create a personalized treatment outline based on your goals. Once you're relaxed comfortably in a private treatment room, a topical anesthetic will be applied to minimize pain and keep you comfortable the entire time. You'll feel a warm sensation as your technician applies our specialized laser technology to your skin. This process helps remove dead and damaged skin cells while promoting new collagen generation in order to create a smoother, more even skin tone. Following your laser treatment, you can expect to have redness, irritation, and swelling for the next several days. Your laser treatment should take between 30 minutes to an hour. With PicoSure, 3 – 4 sessions are typically required and spaced one month apart. For Pico Genesis, 2 – 3 treatments are usually needed.

What causes hyperpigmentation?

In some cases, the body can automatically generate more melanin than is needed. Certain health and environmental conditions could also elevate a person's chance of areas of pigmentation, including specific medicaments, skin injury or trauma, or exposure to UV rays.

How long does the treatment for hyperpigmentation take?

The number and length of laser hyperpigmentation sessions at Everest Medspa will be different for each patient and will be based on the extent of the condition and the laser technology you prefer. The majority of people effectively diminish their hyperpigmented areas over 2 – 4 sessions that take place one month apart. During your aesthetic assessment with Dr. Li, our team will review any additional details regarding your cosmetic treatment and let you know exactly how your treatment schedule should look.

What is the cost of laser hyperpigmentation treatment?

The overall cost of laser hyperpigmentation treatment in Wayne or Havertown, PA, will be determined based on the patient's personal needs, objectives, and the number of sessions needed to achieve their desired cosmetic results. We can help estimate how many appointments could be required and discuss the convenient financial options accepted at our facility.

Is there downtime after laser hyperpigmentation treatment?
The downtime after hyperpigmentation treatment is typically minimal. There may be some redness and mild swelling immediately after the procedure, but this usually resolves within a few hours to a few days.

Can hyperpigmentation be used in combination with other treatments?
Yes, laser hyperpigmentation can be used in combination with other treatments for enhanced results. For example, it may be used in conjunction with IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy or chemical peels to further rejuvenate your skin.

Is laser hyperpigmentation treatment painful?
Most patients find the treatment to be tolerable, and some may experience mild discomfort or a sensation of heat during the procedure. Our team at Everest Medspa may use a cooling device or apply a topical anesthetic to help manage any discomfort.
