Pigmentation Laser Treatment

What Is Skin Pigmentation?
Many patients seek a more youthful appearance. As your skin ages, skin quality is reduced and it becomes less elastic, causing fine lines and wrinkles. Volume loss in the face over time also contributes to the aged appearance. Although a person’s genetic makeup determines much about how their skin ages, other things such as smoking, regular or excessive exposure to the sun, or poor diet accelerate skin aging. Skin tightening is a popular method of reducing the appearance of wrinkles or fine lines, and for treating laxity or droopiness.
Treatment Options
A variety of methods may be used to tighten skin; each stimulates the skin to produce newer, younger looking skin and cause contraction, or tightening, of skin as well. Best results are seen with the surgical facelift, but many patients wish to avoid the risks and hassles of surgery. Non-surgical options are available including dermabrasion and chemical peels, however energy-based methods using radiofrequency (RF) or lasers are more effective.
