LASER TREATMENTS
Laser for Pigmentation
Pigmentation concerns, including hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone, are often caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or age. Laser treatments effectively target excess melanin in the skin, breaking it down and helping to restore a more even complexion. Laser pigmentation removal is an ideal solution for those looking to reduce dark spots and achieve a clearer, more balanced skin tone.
