Question 1

What is pigmentation care?

Accepted Answer

Pigmentation care is a skin care treatment aimed at reducing the appearance of spots on the skin, applied within a plan of several sessions. The process begins with identifying the spot type, such as sun spots, melasma or post-acne marks, through a doctor's assessment. The treatment is carried out by a skincare specialist and planned following that assessment; sessions usually take 30-60 minutes and require no anaesthesia. Sun protection is part of the process.

Question 2

Who may not be suitable for pigmentation care?

Accepted Answer

The treatment may be postponed or considered unsuitable if there is an active infection, an open wound or a recent severe sunburn in the treatment area. If you use medication that can make the skin more sensitive, the doctor should be consulted beforehand. Spots that are new, changing quickly, bleeding or itching need a doctor's assessment first rather than a care treatment. The final decision is made after the examination.

Question 3

What are the possible side effects after pigmentation care?

Accepted Answer

The most common effects after pigmentation care are temporary redness and sensitivity. As the skin may be more sensitive to the sun after the treatment, using sunscreen and avoiding direct sun are recommended. If increasing redness, itching, swelling or an unexpected change in skin colour is noticed, the clinic should be contacted. This information is general and does not replace a personal assessment.

Question 4

When is the effect of pigmentation care visible, and how long does it last?

Accepted Answer

Changes in the appearance of spots are usually assessed gradually over the planned sessions rather than after a single session. How long the appearance is maintained depends on the spot type, the skin type and continued sun protection. Sun spots and melasma can become more visible again when sun protection lapses, so it should be maintained after the sessions are completed. Results vary from person to person.

Question 5

How many sessions of pigmentation care are needed?

Accepted Answer

Pigmentation care is usually carried out as a plan of several sessions. The number of sessions and the intervals between them are determined following a doctor's assessment, taking into account the spot type, the depth and extent of the spots, the skin type and sun protection habits. The plan is updated at follow-up visits if needed. There is no fixed number of sessions that applies to everyone.

Question 6

What is the difference between pigmentation care and vitamin skin care?

Accepted Answer

Pigmentation care focuses on the appearance of specific types of spots, while vitamin skin care is a more general treatment addressing a dull and tired-looking complexion. In pigmentation care, the spot type, such as sun spots, melasma or post-acne marks, is identified through a doctor's assessment and a plan of several sessions is followed. Vitamin skin care uses serums containing vitamins and antioxidants. Which one suits you is determined during the assessment.
