Laser Treatment for Pigmentation
Restore Even, Glowing Skin with Advanced Laser Technology
At Pratap Hospital, Vijayawada — Where Science Meets Skin Confidence
Uneven skin tone, dark patches, melasma, sun damage, and pigmentation concerns can affect confidence and skin aesthetics significantly. At Pratap Hospital, Vijayawada, under the leadership of Dr. Pratap Duggirala (M.S., M.Ch – Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery), we provide advanced laser treatment for pigmentation designed to safely and effectively lighten dark spots, restore clarity, and rejuvenate the skin.
Laser pigmentation removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused light energy to target excess melanin in the skin. The laser breaks the pigment into micro-particles which are naturally absorbed and eliminated by the body.
This treatment is highly effective for:
Melasma
Sunspots / Solar Lentigines
Freckles
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Acne marks
Age spots
Pigmented patches
Birthmarks (selective types)
Why This Treatment Works So Well
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Selective Photothermolysis | Targets only pigment cells without damaging skin |
| Minimal Discomfort | Cooling technology ensures comfort |
| Suitable for Indian Skin | Designed to treat deeper melanin safely |
| Zero to Minimal Downtime | Resume normal activities shortly |
| Long-Term Results | Skin becomes clearer, brighter, and even-toned |
At Pratap Hospital, the focus is on precision-based pigmentation correction backed by advanced medical protocols.
Laser pigmentation therapy uses Q-switched lasers, Nd:YAG lasers, or fractional lasers depending on skin type and the depth of pigmentation. These devices emit high-energy beams that absorb into pigmented cells, causing them to shatter and fade over time.
Types of Pigmentation & Laser Suitability
| Pigmentation Type | Laser Choice | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Superficial Pigmentation | Q-switched Nd:YAG | Freckles, sunspots |
| Deep Dermal Pigmentation | Fractional Laser | Melasma, old marks |
| Mixed Pigmentation | Combination Therapy | Acne marks, uneven tone |
| Hormonal Pigmentation | Low-fluence laser | Sensitive melasma cases |
✨ The goal is not just lightening, but restoring clear, youthful, uniform skin tone with medically precise treatment.
