At RETENS Medical Beauty Center, we specialize in three main laser methods the good news? Modern laser treatments can safely and effectively fade or remove dark spots, giving you clearer, brighter skin.
At RETENS Medical Beauty Center, we offer two main options: traditional 激光去斑 and 皮秒去斑 (Pico) laser spot removal. This simple guide explains how they work, what to expect, and how to choose the right treatment for you.
1. Why Dark Spots Form
- Sun damage: UV rays trigger extra melanin (skin pigment) production, creating sunspots.
- Aging: As skin renews more slowly, pigment can build up in certain areas.
- Acne scars: After pimples heal, dark marks often remain.
- Hormones: Pregnancy or birth control can cause melasma—a type of dark patch.
These spots don’t harm your health, but many people seek treatments for a more even skin tone.
2. What Is Laser Spot Removal?
Target only the 去斑 without harming healthy skin. Work quickly, often in just 1–3 sessions. Require minimal downtime—you can usually return to your daily routine right away.
Give long-lasting results when combined with proper sun protection. Compared to creams or peels, lasers offer faster, more precise results.
3. Traditional Laser Spot Removal
How it works:
- Uses a single-wavelength laser (often Q-switched Nd:YAG).
- The laser passes through the outer skin and heats up the melanin in the spot.
- The heat shatters the pigment without cutting or harming the surrounding skin.
Benefits
- Effective for many spot types: Sunspots, age spots, and acne marks.
- Quick sessions: Treats small areas in 15–30 minutes.
- Minimal downtime: You may see light redness or mild swelling for a day.
4. Picosecond (Pico) Laser Spot Removal
How it works:
- Delivers ultra-short pulses (trillionths of a second).
- These “picosecond” pulses break pigment into even smaller particles.
- Less heat means fewer side effects and faster healing.
Benefits
- Gentle on skin: Less heat, minimal risk of scarring or darkening.
- Faster results: Often significant fading after just one or two sessions.
- Safe for all skin types: Darker skin tones respond well without extra risk.
6. What to Expect in a Treatment Session
Consultation
We examine your skin, discuss your spot concerns, and recommend a laser type.
Preparation
We clean the skin and apply a numbing cream if needed for comfort.
Laser Application
You’ll feel quick, light snaps or warmth as the laser passes over the spots. Total time generally 20–30 minutes for a small area.
Aftercare
Your skin may appear pink or slightly swollen for a few hours. Tiny scabs or flakes may form and naturally fall off over 3–7 days.
7. Post-Treatment Care
Because the pulses are so fast, there’s less heat damage to surrounding skin. Your body removes the tiny pigment particles naturally.
- No picking: Let any scabs or flakes heal on their own to prevent scarring.
- Hydration: The energy shatters pigment particles into tiny fragments
Following these steps helps ensure smooth, even healing and the best possible results.
8. How Many Treatments You Need
- Traditional Laser: Usually 2–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
- Pico Laser: Often 1–3 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart.
Most people see noticeable fading after the first session, with further improvement over subsequent treatments.
9. Who Can Benefit?
- Sunspots/Age Spots: Both lasers are highly effective.
- Downtime: A few days of redness, peeling, and light scabbing.
- Aftercare: Gentle cleansing and sun protection are a must.
- All skin types: Pico Laser especially is safe for all tones; traditional lasers require extra care on darker skin.
A brief visit to RETENS can determine the ideal plan for your unique skin.
