Pigmentation & Dyschromia

At Limelight Medical Aesthetics, we use the Chrome Q-Switched Laser with OptiZoom to gently fade sunspots, freckles, and melasma, gradually revealing a clearer, more even, confident complexion.

Understanding Pigmentation & Dyschromia Treatments

Laser pigmentation and dyschromia treatment uses the Chrome Q-Switched Laser with the OptiZoom handpiece to target excess melanin in the skin. Short bursts of light seek out pigment, breaking clusters into tiny particles. Your body gradually processes this pigment, softening visible discoloration. Dual wavelengths allow treatment of different browns and deeper spots while protecting surrounding tissue for safer, predictable results.

Many people seek this service for age spots, sun damage, freckles, melasma, or stubborn dark marks left after breakouts. Treatments can be focused on tiny spots or expanded to small, medium, large, and extra-large areas like the face, chest, or hands. Most skin tones can be treated, after a thoughtful consultation. Your provider personalizes settings to support safety and results.

Our Process

Your pigmentation treatment begins with a detailed consultation, where your provider examines your skin tone, type of discoloration, and treatment areas. Photos may be taken to document progress. Medical history, sun habits, and current skincare are reviewed, especially for conditions like melasma. A customized plan outlines spot sizes, number of sessions, and realistic expectations for brightening over time and comfort.

During each visit, the skin is cleansed and eye protection is provided. The OptiZoom handpiece is adjusted to match your specific spots or larger areas, then quick pulses of light are delivered. Most clients feel brief warmth or snapping sensations. Treated pigment may darken, gray, or crust slightly before gradually flaking or fading as the skin renews between follow-up visits.

Pre & Post Treatment Care

Thoughtful preparation helps your skin respond smoothly. Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanner on treatment areas for at least two weeks. Pause harsh scrubs, waxing, chemical peels, and strong actives like retinoids or acids as advised. Skin should be intact, calm, and product-free on the day of your appointment for consistent, predictable laser response and to reduce irritation risk.

After each session, gentle care supports healing and even results. Keep the area clean and dry, using only products recommended by your provider. Avoid hot tubs, pools, saunas, and intense workouts until any redness, crusting, or sensitivity settles. Sun protection with SPF and shade is essential to prevent new spots and rebound pigmentation between visits and maintain your glow longer.
