The Modern Solution to Uneven Skin Tone

What is Laser Treatment for Hyperpigmentation?

Laser therapy for hyperpigmentation involves using targeted light energy to break down excess melanin in the skin, which is then naturally eliminated by the body. This process helps fade dark spots, melasma patches, sun damage, and post-inflammatory pigmentation from acne or injury.

At Avané Clinic, we use pigment-specific wavelengths and customize each treatment to match your skin tone, sensitivity, and pigmentation type. The technique directs short, concentrated pulsating beams of light at irregular skin, precisely removing skin layer by layer. This popular procedure is also called laser abrasion, laser peel, or laser vaporization.

Technology

  • Ablative lasers (like CO2 or Er:YAG): Remove outer skin layers for deep resurfacing and scar revision.
  • Non-ablative lasers (like Fraxel or Nd:YAG): Penetrate deeper layers without harming the skin surface.
  • PicoSure laser: Breaks up pigment and stimulates skin renewal with minimal heat damage.
