Frequently Asked Questions About Pigmentation Treatment
Is pigmentation treatment permanent?
Results depend on the type and cause of pigmentation. While many patients see significant improvement, maintenance and sun protection are essential to prevent recurrence.
How many sessions are required for pigmentation treatment?
The number of sessions varies based on the depth and severity of pigmentation. Some patients notice improvement within a few sessions, while deeper pigmentation may require multiple sittings.
Is laser safe for treating pigmentation?
When performed under dermatologist supervision using appropriate settings, laser treatment is safe for Indian skin tones.
Can pigmentation be treated without laser?
Without proper sun protection or if underlying hormonal triggers persist, pigmentation may recur. Maintenance care helps reduce this risk.
Do I need a consultation before laser treatment?
Yes. Many cases respond well to medical creams and chemical peels. Laser is recommended only when necessary.
