Pigmentation removal in Dnipro

Superficial solar lentigines often clear in 1-2 sessions. Deeper or widespread pigmentation needs 3-4 sessions 4 weeks apart. Post-inflammatory marks fade gradually and may need to be combined with home care.

This is the expected reaction: the fragmented pigment rises towards the surface of the epidermis, so the spot darkens and forms a thin crust. It sheds on its own over 7-14 days and the skin lightens. Never pick the crusts off — that can cause new pigmentation.

Autumn and winter are the optimal seasons, when sun exposure is low. In summer the procedure is only performed if you avoid tanning entirely, use strict SPF 50, and have had no fresh tan for at least 4 weeks before the session. The doctor makes the final decision based on your phototype.

The commonest cause is ultraviolet exposure accumulated over years. Then come hormonal factors (pregnancy, contraceptives, thyroid disorders), inflammation after acne or injury, and photosensitising medication. The physician establishes the cause first — otherwise the spots return.

Melasma is a special case and aggressive treatment can worsen it. It needs a cautious approach: gentle settings, home care with brightening agents, strict photoprotection and attention to hormones. There is no one-off cure — the goal is control.

Daily SPF 50+, even in winter and cloudy weather, a hat in summer, antioxidant skincare and no solariums. If the cause is hormonal, it needs managing with an endocrinologist or gynaecologist. Without this, new spots appear even after a perfectly executed course.

Yes, and it is a common request — these areas often reveal age first. The skin is thinner and recovers more slowly, so gentler settings are used and the course may run one or two sessions longer than for the face.
