Laser treatment for pigmented lesions - Rediscover a bright and even complexion
Benefits of laser treatment for pigmented lesions
- Precise stain removal: The laser selectively acts on the pigment, fragmenting and eliminating it in depth. Thus, the spots are visibly reduced or completely eliminated, without affecting the surrounding healthy tissues.
- Even and radiant complexion: By removing blemishes, the laser helps to even out skin tone and restore a youthful and radiant appearance.
- Stimulating collagen production: During the treatment, the laser stimulates the production of collagen, a protein essential for skin elasticity and firmness. This leads to an improvement in skin texture and a reduction in fine wrinkles.
- Minimally invasive procedure: Laser treatment is quick, painless, and requires no anesthesia. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to that of an elastic bandage.
- Short recovery time: After the treatment, slight redness and swelling may occur, which will disappear within a few days. Most patients can return to daily activities immediately after the procedure.
- Sustainable results: The effects of laser treatment are long-lasting, and your skin will look younger and healthier. However, to maintain the results, daily sun protection is important.

How is the laser procedure performed
