It may be due to the influence of the sun on the superficial epidermis layer on the upper part of the skin and the hormones that increase during pregnancy. Dark spots on the skin may occur after injuries or due to structural reasons. These occur most frequently in sun-exposed areas such as the face, hands, and back. What happens here is that the cells called Melanocytes, which are found in the skin and are responsible for coloring the skin, produce excessive amounts of pigment (pigment) for the reasons mentioned above.
Spot treatment with laser, the rays produced from intense pulse beam devices are trapped in this pigment layer according to the selected wavelength and create heat. With this heat effect, the pigmented area is affected and damaged, while the normal colored skin area is preserved. The main thing here is to determine the appropriate beam type and intensity according to the darkness of the pigment, that is, the stain, and the difference in tone with the skin. This explains why these procedures should be performed by a specialist doctor.
How Many Sessions Does Laser Spot Treatment Take?
A few applications are usually required to eliminate the stain, sometimes even reducing the stain gives satisfactory results. Since there is a risk that the cleaned stains may reoccur due to the influence of the sun, a sunny season should be preferred for application. Sun protection is especially important for dark-skinned people.
In our clinic, spot treatment is successfully performed with computer-controlled systems that calibrate the dose after each pulse, and patients are monitored to prevent the spots from reoccurring. In addition to sunscreens, if necessary, it is supported with drugs that reduce pigment production.
