Tip #1: Know what hyperpigmentation really is.
Hyperpigmentation is often the problem that results in dark spots on the skin because of aging, sun damage, hormonal changes and some skin diseases. If exposed to sun, these dark patches could get worst because our melanin in the skin absorbs the sun’s ultra violet rays. Treatments may vary in lightening dark spots and one of these is the laser treatment.
Tip #2: Differentiate laser skin treatments with common forms of treatment.
The most common form of treatment is by applying topical creams because this is less expensive but will only be effective after 3 to 6 months of continuous application. And it could also cause some irritation especially if a person has sensitive skin. Topical creams are usually available over-the-counter but sometimes the effectiveness is questionable. Effective lightening creams are ones prescribed by a physician.
Tip #3: Know how the procedure works.
The lightening laser procedure works when a beam of light at wavelength of 532 nanometers or 755 nm is applied to the skin. When the high intensity energy source is absorbed by water, hemoglobin and melanin in the skin, the absorption eliminates the dark spots and lightens the skin. Laser treatment can be done in a few minutes on small dark spots and it will take around 30 minutes for larger spots.
Tip #4: Ask what lightens the skin in the skin lightening laser treatment.
A quality switched laser or also known as Q-switched laser is the one used to lighten the skin. Q-switched laser doesn’t only work in removing dark spots but on tattoos as well. The wavelength of the laser could be adjusted to change the depth at which the laser penetrates the skin.
Tip #5: Know possible side effects of the procedure.
Laser treatments could somehow bring discomfort, redness, swelling, and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Blisters and crust on the skin will be noticeable for the first to second week after the treatment.
Tip #6: Determine who should perform it.
The laser procedure should only be performed by a licensed physician, cosmetic surgeon and dermatologist. Find the best doctor in town and ask about the procedure.
These are ways by which you can learn more about skin lightening laser treatment. Since this procedure is quite expensive, it is imperative that you make inquiries before undergoing one.

  1. I would love to stop by. But, I think it might have to wait until this summer. I did not know that Serlkay had ever expanded its size. I must say that a succesful family owned business in this day and age is a very refreshing sight! As well as this is a very refreshing site!
