What Are the Steps of Hyperpigmentation Treatment?

The steps for hyperpigmentation treatment using Aerolase Neo at Landford Plastic Surgery begin with a consultation. Your session will start with cleansing the skin to remove any impurities. Protective eyewear will be provided, and a cooling gel will be applied to prepare your skin. During the procedure, the Aerolase Neo laser is gently passed over the treatment area, targeting excess melanin to break it down while stimulating collagen production to improve skin texture and tone.

Techniques for Hyperpigmentation Treatment

The Aerolase Neo is an advanced laser technology used to treat hyperpigmentation, delivering targeted energy to the skin to break up pigmentation and stimulate collagen production. Here are some techniques involved in the treatment:

    • Laser toning: This technique uses a gentle yet effective laser to target pigmented areas deep within the skin without causing damage to the surface. It helps to reduce dark spots, age spots, and melasma.
    • Micro-resurfacing: The Aerolase Neo laser stimulates the skin’s natural healing process by encouraging the regeneration of healthy, even skin cells. This reduces the appearance of uneven pigmentation.
    • Pigment removal: The laser uses specific wavelengths to break down the excess pigment in the skin, which is then naturally absorbed and cleared by the body.
    • Collagen stimulation: The treatment targets hyperpigmentation and stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and elasticity and promoting a brighter and smoother complexion.
