What is a laser treatment for pigmentation spots?

Laser or IPL therapy effectively reduces pigmentation spots. Targeted light beams break down melanin in the pigmented skin cells. The laser specifically targets dark pigment cells without damaging the surrounding skin. In addition, the treatment stimulates cell renewal, so new, less pigmented skin cells replace the old ones.

Treatment process

Below you can read step by step how a laser treatment for pigmentation spots proceeds.

Huidtherapeut voert vrijblijvend consult met client voorafgaand aan een huidtherapie behandeling bij The Body Clinic
Free consultation with the skin therapist

During a free consultation, the skin therapist analyzes your pigmentation spots to determine what type of pigmentation you have, which treatment is most suitable, and how many sessions are needed to achieve the desired result.

Preparation for the treatment

Before the treatment, the skin therapist will calmly discuss the steps with you. Your skin will be cleansed to remove makeup residue and dirt, allowing us to start cleanly and safely.

The treatment

During the laser treatment, targeted light beams are delivered to the pigmented skin cells. The melanin absorbs the light and breaks down, making the pigmentation spots less visible. The treatment lasts 30 to 60 minutes.

Recovery at the clinic

After the treatment, the skin is cooled. If desired, you can relax for a while in the clinic. The skin therapist will discuss with you what you can and cannot do in the coming days, so you know how best to manage the treated area.

Skin indications for pigmentation spots

The best treatment for pigmentation spots depends on their cause. The skin therapist can create a suitable treatment plan for this.

  • Age spots are light to dark brown spots, half to a full centimeter in size, caused by sun damage.

  • Melasma is hyperpigmentation caused by hormones, such as in pregnancy masks or from contraceptives.

  • Annoying freckles can be lightened with laser therapy. As with age spots, freckles can darken again when exposed to sunlight.

  • Pigmentation spots that have arisen from damage or scars can also be treated with laser therapy.

Frequently asked questions

Find direct answers to questions about treatments, costs, and recovery.

  • At The Body Clinic, the cost of laser treatment for pigmentation spots starts at €75 for a single spot. The price depends on how many pigmentation spots need to be treated. For 2-5 spots, the price is €130, for 6-10 spots it's €190, and for a whole area such as the face or décolleté, it's €240. The skin therapist will discuss this with you during a no-obligation consultation.

  • Yes, during the recovery period of 3 to 7 days, the pigment spots on your skin may darken before they lighten. This is a normal part of the process: the pigment comes to the surface and is then removed by the body. After a few days to a week, the spots will become lighter and less visible.

  • The Body Clinic's laser therapy for pigment spots is currently only offered at the Amsterdam location. To make an appointment, please contact us via the central number or the contact form on our website.

  • Yes, melasma can be treated with laser therapy or chemical peels. However, the approach to melasma is complex, and a cautious strategy is necessary. Multiple treatments are often required. The most important aspect of melasma is good protection through sunscreen and a cream with antioxidants to keep the pigment as stable as possible. During the consultation, the skin therapist will discuss the best approach for your specific situation.

  • Yes, our laser treatments are suitable for various skin types and can be tailored to the specific needs of each client. During a consultation with our skin therapist, your skin will be carefully analyzed, and the most suitable laser treatment for your situation will be discussed.

  • For the desired result, an average of 2 to 4 treatments are needed. The exact number depends on the type of pigmentation, the depth of the pigment, and your personal wishes. During the consultation, the skin therapist will provide an estimate of the number of treatments required.

  • The result of a laser treatment for pigmentation spots remains visible for about 3 to 6 months. Depending on your skin and personal preference, we recommend maintaining the result by repeating the treatment 1 to 2 times per year. Good sun protection with at least SPF 30 is essential to preserve the result.

  • The treatment is not painful and anesthesia is not necessary. Most people experience the treatment as comparable to other botox injections; a quick prick that is well tolerated.

  • Yes, laser therapy can be combined with a chemical peel for pigmentation, if necessary, for optimal results. During the consultation, the skin therapist will discuss which approach best suits your situation and whether a combination treatment is beneficial.
